Although this rug has great quality, it is not what I had expected. There is way more white than I wanted - white is definitely the main color with some gray and very little dark color added. I was expecting at least half and half, so it does not match the area at all. Also, it is the 50/50 height, which I did not see listed anywhere. I do not like the feel of that type of shag rug - wanted only the shag. Very disappointed as I spent a lot of time searching for the perfect rug  and besides it being the right size and great quality, there is really nothing else I like about it.
