At first I would have given this rug 1 star. The rug was stitched with a black background and you could see the black coming through. It made the rug look salt and pepper which wasn't the look I was going for. However, I call wayfarers customer service and they set a new rug out to the replace the first rug and told me to donate the first rug. I was nervous that I would potentially get the same problem with the second rug but I was pleasantly surprised that the second rug is much better! It has a tan background so it looks like the white rug that I wanted. Thank you to Wayfair's customer service for their help. I was so nervous I would have to give up and find another rug but I was relieved when I didn't.
