There are A LOT more white yarn-thick threads than the images show. The image also makes the threads appear to have a silvery shimmer, whereas the real rug does not have any shimmer.  It is a matte grey and white rug with very think yarn-like threads.  Very reminiscent of a 70’s multi-color shag rug, although admittedly softer.  I waited too long to open this (was sadly waiting for my elderly dog to pass to replace the rug he had accidents on), so it is too late for me to return this item. Disappointed and will probably end up spending more money elsewhere to replace this one.
