I have been looking for an ombre rug where the ombre coloring is dark at one end and is light on the other for a looooong time. Finally, I thought I had found it in the Retro Black & Light Grey 2.5' x 11' runner, but no. The pattern repeats after about 2.5' feet; there's like no ombre effect at all, just an abstract pattern. The online photos are total false advertising.

I am really, really disappointed.

But it seems to be a good quality rug, well made and very cushioned underfoot. No shedding so far. The light grey is really more of an off-white. The cats like it a lot. You might like it if you are OK with the real rug only baring a passing resemblance to the online photos. It gets 3 stars because the rug itself seems to be a good rug. If it looked like what I thought it would look like, I probably would have given it 5 stars. I will keep it, but mainly because I cannot be fussed to ship it back. :-(
