The rug is beautiful, good quality, and really soft. But. The gray is definitely darker than the picture shows, and the ivory part isn't so well defined. It also has a weird almost ombre effect where it gets gradually darker closer to the edges. Due to the difference in color, it absolutely does not work in the room I bought it for. We've got new furniture coming in the next couple of weeks, so I'll hold off on returning the rug until I see if it works with the new furniture. Otherwise it'll have to go back.
