I was a little nervous about this rug from the reviews...
But its true to color and its so beautiful in person. I love it. its a true modern light gray color.
I want to say each braid is about 1.5 inches wide... I know its sort of hard to tell scale in the photos.
A friend of mine has a rug that's almost identical but the braids are bigger, and it was thousands of dollars.
If you want a textured woolish very thick statement piece this is your rug. I have it along side very modern furniture and it really makes it all very cozy but still sleek and stylish.
