I was really excited about getting this rug.  I also bought this Ivory & White Area Rug IV and loved it.. this rug doesn't compare.  It's very flat and the corners curl up.. the edges are not good quality.. and my husband thinks the pattern looks like a cheap fake t-shirt screen print.  The rug looks bright white in the background from one direction and dark gray from another direction.  In soft lighting of a bedroom, it looks gray.  Cons: Poor quality, cheap looking / feeling
