The rug arrived earlier than
 stated. The reviews were
 exact. This is a beautiful,
 expensive-appearing rug. It
 looks great on my dark
 hardwood floors. I purchased
 the white with silver
 highlights. The white is
 ivory and appears almost like
 a flatter berber. The silver
 is more of a high low and is
 not really silver but is taupe
 with silver shimmering
 highlights, very pretty but
 not too obvious. The color
 really goes with anything. 
 It does not shed onto my wood
 floor. One compliment I
 received was, "It looks very
 upscale New York." That's
 o.k. with me.
