My 8 x 10 rug measures 7.9" x 9.10". Arrived is great shape,in plastic, and coverings on ends for protection. Wrinkles in rug came out in one day (I put books on the ends to help flatten). Heavy weight, attractive rug. Color ordered, cream/ beige, is low pile dense shag (which I prefer),with two-tone colors, which are mostly (grayish) cream, mixed slightly with mocha/ taupe fibers in shag, and taupe (with hint of mocha), in swirl pattern. Description says beige, but picture online looks, and is, more taupe. I was hesitant to order a cream colored shag, as described, as possibly could be too light, so pleased, as the multi fibers in it will show less dirt, blend better with room décor. It's being used in spare bedroom, with a taupe coverlet on bed.
