I originally ordered another rug from a different company but had a failed delivery and the rug was out of stock when I tried to reorder. I ended up with this rug in the silver/ivory color bc they didn't have the ivory in the size I needed. I was really hesitant that it would look to striped but the alternating silver/ivory weave is subtle. It brings the beige color floor tiles and the gray i have in the room together. It's really thick and feels good under foot. It was packaged very strangely - instead of rolled it was folded. But it was easy enough to lay out given the large size I got. It still has some unevenness that I'm hoping will flatten out over time, but overall I think it's a decent rug. A little pricey for the quality but a solid rug.
