I bought this rug because another reviewer said it wasn't a solid ivory rug - that it had strands of yellow through it. My bedroom is decorated in yellow/gold/gray/creme and this rug matches perfectly! The yellow strands are VERY hard to even really see in the rug but, with the gold/yellow in my room, it pulls those colors out of the rug. It takes a day or 2 to "relax" after being shipped but, once it did and I vacuumed it, it's gorgeous! It's thick, plush and so very soft. I also bought a rug mat (from Wayfair) to put under it and now it's like walking on a cloud. The rug came right on time and was packaged very well and arrived in perfect condition.
