I have been looking for a somewhat "distressed" oriental rug for some time now. I finally found it on Wayfair. This rug is very soft and the color is great - can vary in different lighting from greenish-gray to gray, but it looks great. It does shed a tad, but vacuuming took care of that. The rug is very thin, so plan on buying a thicker rug pad. All in all, a great rug!
