A great way to lighten a room.  I feel like I have more ivory than gray in the rug I received, which is perfect for how I was aiming to contrast a darker headboard and bedding.  I laid it out outside down for a day and then flipped it over - all edges are staying put.  Plush to walk on but the 2'x8x is still "shakeable" - preferably to a Roomba tackling it.
