Well,  I don’t like to leave negative reviews but want to help someone else avoid the return fee.  First off, the design of the carpet is gorgeous.  It’s high quality amd thick. As the other reviews state, the “white” is more of a cream but still very pretty. However,  the way the rug is made makes it constantly look dirty.  The fibers on the cream area are always on the black area and it just looks like pet fur even though it’s not. I vacuumed multiple times to try and get it to go away but it’s just the way the rug is made.  I am bummed as it’s beautiful, elegant and sophisticated.  However, I couldn’t get past it constantly looking dirty.  Maybe I received an “off production” version or something but my rug just always looked like tons of pets were rolling on it. ‍♀️
