When looking up closely this rug is very pretty. But when standing over it or across the room it is very white with very little pattern coming through. Also, it was folded up so poorly when it was shipped that the creases were just insane. I have four Angela Rose rugs but I will be returning this one. Maybe it would look better in a different color. I am sad that this one is not going to work but I was hoping for more pattern and less stark white.
