This rug is beautiful. I really don't think the picture does it justice. It looks gray, but it's a beautiful ivory. I love that the rug is pictured in full. The pattern is right on in person. The raised areas of the rug are very soft, and the lower areas give the rug a lot of visual interest. It does not shed! I saw this rug in a smaller size in a store before purchasing it online, so I did have the advantage of having a really good idea of what it was going to look like. The price was fabulous. Other sites that I found it on were considerably more, and shipping was free! YAY, because this baby was heavy! Shipping was also fast. I got it within a week of ordering. Love it, and highly recommend it!
