Carpet is beautiful, and soft.  Color is a bit more ivory than true white, exactly what I needed.  Exactly what I was looking for.  The problem was with the sewing on the edging in two spots appears to be defective.  I'm not sure at this point if it will hold up and I it limits me to which way to can place the rig for traffic flow because I feel the need to "protect" those spots.  It would be very inconventient to return such a large rug, so I will just cross my fingers.    The price seems a bit high to accommodate such defects.
