This rug goes in the enclosed tiled Den which gets plenty of sunlight during the day. The silver is more silver/grey color and the ivory pattern may be that color or off white. No matter it still looks good under the dining table. Additionally, from what other reviews say when vacuuming for the first time with a brushed vacuum, it picks up a lot of fiber. My upright vacuum has a pretty large canister and I had to empty it twice. I don't see any apparent loss in fiber content but that seemed unusual. I may have to do it again to prevent small fibers from getting kicked up through normal traffic. Overall satisfied with the item, if cushion is what you need underneath get a foam or layered cover for added thickness.

Pros: Good value for the size, fast shipping, good pattern
Cons: Color slightly different from the picture, first vacuum picks up a lot of loose fiber
