Wow! I love this rug. It's just as described. It is a neutral color and quite soft. The pattern on the rug is nice, classy and modern. It looks promising for a high-traffic area. It might look a little bit darker in real life, depending on how the light hits it. I had to turn it around so it would reflect a lighter color. It looks much darker in the photo because it was taken in poor lighting.

I will mention that this is not a particularly thick rug, but we are more concerned with the aesthetic than the cushion.
