The rug is soft and has a nice pattern, but it doesn’t really look like the “antiqued” rug pictured. With the proper lighting and angle, I might be able to photograph my rug to appear this way, however, in reality it’s just a regular rug with some lighter areas to resemble fading. But, my biggest issue with the rug is actually the way that it was shipped - folded into a box. I ordered additional rugs from Wayfair that came rolled and sealed in plastic so any “bumps” relaxed in a few days. But this rug was hard-folded multiple times into a box, so nearly 3 weeks later I’m still staring at and tripping over areas of buckled rug and hard creases that run its entire length. It looks terrible and every method I’ve tried to “press” out the creases hasn’t worked, so it must have been folded for a long time prior to my purchase. I’m very disappointed, but if you’re ordering a small size, this may not be a problem.
