I purchased this rug for our kitchen after my previous rug (which I loved) got so worn out, it really had to go. I wanted mixed colors of grays and browns. I purchased a rug somewhere else and it just didn’t work. Took a chance on this Ryler rug, and I think it works really well. It has the hand hooked texture, is very sturdy, and wipes up easily. If you can expand my photo, you will notice that the rug definitely has more of a gray appearance versus the brown that the stock photo shows.
