First off, it is not too white, it's off white woven with goldish / brown for a speckled background.  Love it, it brightens up my office.   As for the weight, not as heavy as the wool rugs I have bought from Wayfair, but it does lay flat enough for the Roomba to roll over.  Also feels very nice underfoot.  TIP, grab the corners and roll them inward to counter the rug wanting to turn up.  Gives them a head start on laying flat.  Everyone who has seen it has comments about unique and striking pattern.

Oh, almost forgot, had a $ off credit for shopping and applied it to black friday sale, total with tax was $99.
