Carpet is very nice. The pattern is large- pretty much as it appears in the photo. The beige portion in a lower loop pile and the off white pattern is a high pile. The white part actually is physically higher, so if you place something on it...like the leg of a table or chair it will be uneven. I actually trip over it in my flip flops. But, it is a nice quality and if you know about the two different heights it is quite nice.
