My husband and I love the rug in the photo on the website, but when we unrolled it in our home, we were quickly disappointed. Our color scheme is much like the one in the sample photo, gray and white everywhere. The listing clearly shows a rug that appears to be gray and white. This rug is gray and more of a yellow/off-white. The design is by no means white. It looks dingy and discolored as if it were old. The gray part of the rug is a nice shade though, just not the "white". Having anything in the room with it that is also white, reminds you of just how NOT white the design actually is. A lot of reviews claim the rug sheds a lot, but it is too soon for us tell if that is true or not.
