I purchased this item and stored it unused for about a year. The texture is very pleasant. The front is a muted pink (with a bit of the beige from the back showing through), and the back is beige. It's a pink that's close to beige, and I think it's a calm color that won't stand out too much indoors. Please forgive any creases from folding during shipping, as well as any loose threads from the manufacturing process. I will compress the item to fit an 80-size package for shipping. It may be shipped in a waterproof plastic bag instead of a cardboard box. Please consider purchasing.
