I ordered this rug for our sitting room and I really love the distressed look. I also have noticed that the rug looks different colors based on which direction you vacuum it in but that just adds character to me! It is extremely soft and the grayish-blue color is quite appealing. My only complaint is that it tends to look dirty when you look at it up close, depending on which way you vacuumed it. Ours is in a seldom used sitting room so the "dirty" look makes me quite annoyed from time to time, but if I clean it in the other direction it looks much better.   

Pros: Soft, appealing design, character, color
Cons: Color changes depending on which way you vacuum it so you need to find which way looks best in your space
