After reading other reviews on the color issue, I decided to go ahead with it anyway since the room it was for is neutral and I love the bold pattern. I have a Ben. Moore paint chip fan deck that I put against the rug and the color best matches "sea pine AC-17" which -like others have said- is a greyish-blue. Like any good "mysterious color" it changes throughout the day and with sunlight or lamplight... but I still like it!

Having previously purchased a Safavieh Soho area rug (different pattern) I knew the quality of this plush, tightly woven wool area rug would not disappoint me. I was also happy to read the reviews regarding the color was more blue than gray as I was concerned that gray may not work well with my blue Soho rug. Again, not disappointed--this is an excellent buy especially at the Overstock price! Buy it, you will love it too!!

This rug would compliment any cool grey tones. If paired with warm greys, it would further enhance the pale blue color. Pattern can go with contemporary or traditional design from a dining room to foyer to baby's room. I have moved it to several different rooms already and it has looked great in all of them. The quality of the rug is great and what a great price too! Being wool I noticed quite a bit of pilling (shedding) but has since tapered off. As far as staining, my son spilled orange juice on it and after cleaning it with a damp sponge I can't even tell where he spilled it anymore. Even though the description states grey/cream color, I would STILL buy it! I love this rug!

I had high hopes for this rug. Unfortunately, the color was off enough that it contrasted heavily with our sofa. The color leans more blue grey than a true grey; which is what we were looking for. The returns process was simple enough but the expense to return it was quite high, roughly $**. I think overstock should do a better job explaining to the customer that although shipping is only $2.95 on such a large item, returns are not the same price. I've been quite pleased with my previous purchases just extremely frustrated with the expense of this return.

This rug is beautiful! I returned the rug after I received as it did not fit the style of my home. None the less, it's absolutely beautiful! Our home has a casual feel and this rug is definitely more on the formal side. If it coordinated with our decor I most certainly would have kept it. I feel that the color was true to the photos provided but my husband thought that the rug had a slight blue hue. If you are not familiar with wool rugs, you should know that they shed a LOT for about a year. I prefer the look and quality of wool to synthetic materials so I put up with it. If you don't want to have to vacuum fibers up all the time, I would recommend getting a rug that isn't wool.

The rug is beautiful. Its thick and very well made. The color and design are exactly what I was looking for. The color is a blue/gray so it goes perfect in any room that has either of these colors. The white design is raised a bit so it gives the rug a very expensive look. I am really happy with this rug.

I really loved this rug. It was very well made, priced right and the medallion pattern on it called to me! The rug arrived quickly, and when I opened up the package I didn't notice any foul smells like I have encountered with previous online rug purchases. After unrolling, the rug laid flat and the medallion pattern looked even better than the picture. The feel of the rug was soft and smooth, and it felt kind of "expensive feekkbI purchased this rug for my laundry room, and unfortunately the shade of gray did not match the space and I had to return it. That's the hard part about ordering rugs online, until you have them in the space, or can at least match some decor, it's hard to know if it will work or not. Overstock does make the return shipping process so easy, I couldn't ask for anything better there! I would definitely recommend this rug to anyone looking for a rug this size.

I agree with other comments, the color is more like a soft blue/gray. I took a chance either way because although gray is the "in" color of design at the moment, I love having a little bit of blue in my color scheme. The medallion design is just stunning and really takes center stage in the room. The medallion pattern is raised from the rug. Pretty thick pile rug but not as soft as some have said. Overall pretty happy with this rug.

Stops shedding sooner than other safavieh rugs I've purchased. Look and feel is fairly high quality as indicated. Color is truly blue and grey and likely works with most palettes.

This is a great quality rug, with thick pile. The color is a soft blue grey and off white. It does shed alot, but that was expected with a good wool rug. The only drawback is that the design has a slightly higher pile than the base, and although texturally interesting, means that fuzzles and dog hair can be trapped and do not vaccum up as well off design area. Also the off-white does seem to show dirt quite a bit, this would not be a problem if we did not have 2 big dogs though, who laid on it while muddy. Overall, I am very happy with the rug as it was the kind of quality we were looking for at an affordable price.

This wool rug is so soft. The colors and design look exactly like the picture on the website. I am very pleased with the quality and how it looks with my charcoal sofa.

I love the Soho rug in my foyer. It is wool, so it does shed, but I've never had a wool rug that didn't. It is very plush, but the door still opens over it just fine. It is a beautiful grey/blue color and the medalions are raised off-white.

This filled the requirements I needed. Size, material, price. Th color is NOT as gray as pictured. And the ivory NOT as white. As others noted, it has more green to blue tones. The room my rug is in has a very light green tone to the paint color and brings out more sage in this rug. I could see if your room has more blue tones, that would come out. If you are looking for a true gray, this is not it. The rug has been shedding slightly. It is not as tight a weave as some higher priced rugs, so it is expected and I hope will not continue. Over all works for me at the price point and area I needed the rug.

This rug went way beyond my expectations. It is one of the most beautiful rugs I have ever seen. I see a lot of rugs, I am a home stager. The color and pattern are simple and elegant. The pile is super soft. This is a safavieh rug - they make amazing products. Their products sell for much more at retail outlets. Great deal. Great rug.

I love this rug, it is thick and soft and true to the colors shown. The only thing I wasn't expecting was for the white design to be raised above the grey, but it still looks great!

COLOR WAS NOT AT ALL LIKE THE PICTURE. RUG IS MORE GREEN/GRAY WITH CREAM PATTERN. I WANTED A SILVER OR BLUE/GRAY COLOR RUG FOR THE KITCHEN. I ONLY GAVE 4STARS SINCE THE COLOR SHOWN AND DESCRIBED WAS NOT ACCURATE. IT IS STILL A BEAUTIFUL RUG AND I WILL KEEP THE 14' RUNNER, BUT EXCHANGED A SMALLER RUG FOR THE 6' RUNNER TO USE THESE IN ANOTHER LOCATION. QUALITY IS NICE AND MY DOGS ROLLED ALL OVER IT AS SOON AS IT WAS UNWRAPPED - GUESS THEY LIKE IT, TOO! I WOULD ORDER AGAIN BUT BE CAUTIOUS ABOUT COLORS.

I have the large size of this rug. The rug is beautiful and makes the room. I get loads of compliments on it. I ordered it because I saw a real life photo and knew it was more blue/green/gray than straight gray and that it would go with my colors. So the color is perfect for my room. Do not be misled by the color on the website. I wish we could post user photos here so I could post a picture of the actual color. It's beautiful. But it's not gray. Sadly, after six months of having fuzz all over our wood floors, even with vacuuming 2-3 times a week, I think I'm going to have to relocate the rug to the guest room since there's less traffic there. I just can't deal with the little wool balls on the rug and the constant layer of fuzz all over the downstairs. We can't sit and lounge on the floor without getting up covered with light fuzz. The coffee table and seating even have fuzz that floats up ends up on them. It's frustrating and tiring to deal with. So now I have to find a new living room rug. This rug is made by a "reputable" well-known brand. Yet I've never ever had a rug shed this much for this long.

I have been looking for a rug for some time for my dining room. The pattern on this is gorgeous and just perfect for what I was looking for. After reading the reviews, I knew the color would be slightly off from the true grey shown in the image. It is slightly blue-grey, but I expected this and it works with my decor and color-scheme. The rug is soft, thick, and well made. It does shed some and yet it has not annoyed me, a good vacuuming has helped. Being that it's under a table and not walked on often, it doesn't appear to be an issue. Love Overstocks fast shipping and excellent customer service. No complaints here!

Purchased this for my living room while redecorating my apartment. I have been very happy in the past with everything I have from Safavieh, it is a great affordable quality brand. The rug is made very nicely and the bold design looks great.

First of all this rug has not one gray thread in it. It is a light slate blue-ish color. That being said, I ordered after reading other reviews knowing the color difference and it is just what I was looking for. It is a very well made rug, some shedding, but to be expected with wool. The off white detail is raised slightly from the blue color. It is a thick plush comfy rug and feels great underfoot. I would highly recommend, unless you are looking for something gray.
