Surprisingly neutral despite the geometric 
 pattern: it really grounds our room. Shed a 
 little at first, but nothing unexpected. More 
 substantial and thick than it appeared online 
 (I still use a rug pad for extra cushion and to 
 keep it from slipping). After a month, it's still 
 curled up a bit. This has gotten better over 
 time, but is still apparent (and exaggerated by 
 the rug pad).
