I purchased the smaller size for my sons bedroom which as a masculine farmhouse look/theme. This rug looks amazing and doesn't look fake at all. My 11 year old son is thrilled with how it looks in his room and so am I. The product photos shows the lighter color of the rug as more of an ivory, but in person it is gray (as it states in the description) and the dark colors are charcoal. Looks great against dark/espresso hardwood floors.
