This is a nice quality rug, heavy and plush, but - at least to me - it's different in person than in the picture. I really couldn't see the pattern in my rug - the colors are brighter than they appear in the pic and they seem pretty random, making the rug look modern. And as others mentioned, the sheen is really strong from one angle so that the rug looks cream colored from that side. I returned it because of these things. And be aware - I was billed $24 to return the rug, so order only if you're sure!!
