I needed a dining room rug that wasnt bright white and had hints of gray to brighten the room. This pattern isnt too loud, but catches the eye just as the description says. Against my shoes you can see how creamy the rug is in natural light. It is not the thickest rug, but soft on the feet and dining room chairs slide easy. It vacuums nicely and hides the pet hair well. Plus its affordable and comes in many sizes for your space. I also have a runner for entryway. Came well packaged and on time. No weird smells, and laid flat after a day. Highly recommend.
