Not the color I thought it would be. It is a very light, light shade of taupe and does not look like the picture.  I wanted a darker shade of taupe.  I hope to be moving soon so I will keep it in hopes I can use it in my new home.  If not, I will give it to someone who can use it with their color scheme.  I have, since receiving my order, shopped around to see what the taupe color looks like elsewhere and I have seen it in quite a few different shades.
