Rug isn't like a carpet, more like a rag rug. The fabric is very shiny and different types and lengths all put into one. Was more silver than gray. Soft but thinly put together so not too cushy. Am returning. First time returning to Wayfair so not sure how it will go. Sent request to return and will cost me $30 and have waited 3 or 4 days for confirmation email as they said and I haven't heard anything yet.
