This rug was great in my small apartment dining area! As you can see in the pictures the edges didn’t initially lay flat, but my old college textbooks finally did something useful and fixed it. Colors are pretty close to the web pictures, but it is more grey than bright white. The low pile on the rug makes it a good candidate for high traffic or messy areas like the dining room. I also caught it at a great sale price and the shipping was quicker than expected, so I hit a homerun on this purchase.
