I was hoping for more of a silky soft, super glamorous rug. This rug is definitely thick and plush, but it's more of an everyday rug as opposed to a super chic statement piece. It's less silky soft and more cotton-y soft, if that makes sense. I could see kids or pets loving it. The color is more blue-ish silver. For the price it's great and it definitely warms up the room, but I wouldn't get it if you want a super silky, luxurious piece. Great option for a thick rug at a great value though!
