This is a beautiful rug.! The gray is on the warmer side of silver, and together with the light cream, it brightens my otherwise dark room. I wondered if the fringe might be something that could catch in the vacuum, but it’s narrow and does not. The wrinkles took about a week to relax out, but have done so, nicely. It feels very soft, but also ordered a pad for a little more cushiness, since it has such a low pile.
