Bought this to update my living room and give it a more modern flair. I will agree with other reviewers, the texture is a little different than it appears on the screen. The cream areas are a shorter pile and it doesn't look as luxurious in person as it does online. The gray lines are a much higher pile and have a ""shaggy"" look. The rug wasn't as soft as I had hoped but putting a super rug pad underneath it did make it much more comfy to walk on. It arrived a little smashed but after a few vacuums it looks much better. Does have a new, chemical smell as most rugs do... hoping that will calm down in time. Not overjoyed, but overall a good purchase.Pros: Good value, gives room a modern lookCons: Not as soft and luxurious as it appears online, new smell
