This is a gorgeous and authentic. Other commenters mentioned that they received rugs that were tan or brown in color. Mine is a gorgeous ivory with lovely light grey and tan accents. It is SO soft and looks perfect in my bedroom. There is also no smell as mentioned by other reviewers. However it does come folded in a box so it'll take a few weeks for the folds to fall out (I don't mind though since rugs are usually really expensive to ship!). And for only $200?! An absolute steal. I am very VERY happy with my purchase. And with free, 3 day shipping no less!Pros: Beautiful, color similar in tone to what is picturedCons: Comes folded in a box but for free shipping that's fine by me.
