So far I like this, and my cat loves it. The color does have a slight sage tint to it, but it's nice, and it matches well with the colors in the house. 
Since unwrapping this rug, it has become my cat's favorite napping place. I'm not sure I'm looking forward to taking the rug to a laundromat that has an industrial sized machine, but if I only need to launder it once a year or less, it might not be that big a deal.
