Rug is exactly as pictured. The color grey I was looking for was a little different than this but anyway, I was so happy with the quality. However, I gave it 3 starts because I was unlucky; the rug that was delivered to me had very noticeable white stains on it so I had to send it back right away. I don't know what happened in the warehouse it came from but it was defected. But anyway, that doesn't change the beauty of the rug. I'll probably reorder it again if I can't find the light grey shade I'm looking for.
