There is a reason this rug is not more expensive; the colors in the pattern are not the same from end to end. With  the pattern off on one end the gray becomes the dominate color distorting the weave in the pattern by a huge margin.  It was obviously a factory reject and the reason it was so cheap. Lesson learned, no more large purchases without seeing the product up close and personal.  We dumped this rug into an used bedroom; out of sight out of mind. Do not recommend.
