I had seen a similar rug sold through DWR and really like the simple, modern look. Although it is firm underfoot, it is still quite comfortable. The color is what I expected from the pictures- a nice variegated gray, warm white and ecru. The only thing that I don't love is the short end trim, which is a folded edge of cotton canvas instead of the wool tufts going to the end (if that makes sense) which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. The rug has a nice weight and seems durable. I don't know how it would hold up in a high traffic area as we are using it in a bedroom as an accent rug. I vacuum it without the brush moving and it seems to be fine. This is what I was looking for and am happy with the purchase.
