I'm super happy with the rug. 
I got a fairly large size (Rectangle 9' x 12') and it was perfect for my bedroom. The rug definitely looks more on the light gray than the ivory, but it is still light enough and the distress patterns definitely add some charm to it as well as lighten the overall color scheme a bit. It's a bout medium pile and not very soft, but just about the easiest rug to vacuum and keep clean.
