The color and design were a nice neutral. However there was glue from the binding that had come through to the top side of the rug and I wasn't sure how to get it off.  Also because the rug wasn't shipped with an inner tube of any kind, when I unrolled it, it did not lay flat.  I think it would have taken a very long time for it to get all the creases out.  I ended up returning this rug.
