I was a little concerned with all the mixed reviews, but it turned out to be a beautiful rug and exactly what I wanted. The rug does look different in lighting and certain angles as you can see in the pictures. However I kinda like that aspect about it since it already has a distressed look. I’ve been trying to find the right rug for months now and I’m so happy that I found this one! It’s soft and has so many neutral tones to it. BTW aerate this rug for at least a few days. That polyethylene smell is real strong.
