Very pleased with this rug. The creases came right out after laying it flat. The braids stay in place well. The color is a warm ivory with a dark charcoal design. Medium pile that feels perfect in our bedroom. One thing to note depending on the size of your rug, the pattern may not match up exactly on both braided ends. Ours has a full diamond on one side but a half diamond on the other. Fortunately it’s in our bedroom and the bed blocks the half diamond side so it’s not too notice ableirritating. Just a heads up if you’re big on symmetry!
