The rug arrived quickly, in great condition. In my room it looks a lot more blue than grey, but I suspect that's a factor of what is around it (blue walls, cool colors). It's VERY thin, which I'm ok with as a dining room rug for under our table. I probably wouldn't be ok if it were a living room rug that we walk on all the time. I would definitely recommend a rug pad. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase.
