This rug is beautiful.  I really love it.   It is thick and feels expensive.  I love the quality.  As you can see from my picture, the background is ivory and the zebra stripes are a silver gray (light-med).  Came nicely packaged and I paid the extra charge to have Wayfair install it.  Great crew -- kind, polite, and moved the rug several times quite patiently until it was just the way I liked it.  Will post more photos once the rest of the furniture is purchased!  GREAT VALUE FOR THE PRICE!
