I am so happy with my purchase!  The rug is soft and beautiful and looks so nice in my living room.  It pulls all the colors together in the room and just looks like it was made for that room!  Love it.  The colors look different depending on what direction you look in and sometimes the gray will  appear blue, but I expected this as that is common with gray colors.  The beige in this rug really sets off the gray.  I can't speak to how long it will last, but I hope it stays beautiful for years to come.
