This is the most beautiful and stylish rug! It has a great sheen to it and the fact that it’s not solid grey is what makes it look SO high-end and expensive. The grey has depth and dimension because of the strategically added highlight color inside of the grey. Many of the reviews called this affect “salt and pepper” but don’t despair, it’s not a salt and pepper look at all. It’s rich, elegant, and beautiful. I love it!
