This is a thick, heavy, good quality rug.  However, it is definitely not silver, which is the advertised color.  This rug is light blue and is so in every light (natural, lamps during the day, lamplight at night).  I have vacuumed the rug several times and holds up well with little shedding and no exposed loops.  I have no complaints about the quality, but I would not have purchased this had I known the true color.

Pros: Quality, thick
Cons: Not actually silver as advertised
