I was really looking forward to this rug because it looked so pretty in the photos, but it's definitely lighter in color in person and has a silvery sheen when brushed a certain way that I'm not so fond of / feels a little cheap. It also makes the rug slippery to walk on. I know delays are common everywhere right now, but it was also a bummer to have this ship out 2 months later than the expected date. Kept receiving notices of delay, and would have appreciated more realistic timeframes to begin with.
