Rug was shipped in a very timely manner! I ordered one late night (7/5/18) at was at more door 7/10/18! Rug weighs 35 lbs, I was able to put down myself (big plus being a single girl, and no upper body strength). Ivory color is a very light ivory (but that’s what I wanted) and the tan does lean to the grayish of tan. I attached a photo of my tan couches in comparison. For what I paid, I am VERY happy with my purchase. Since I am a single girl, I don’t seen this rug getting dirty an issue- vacuuming frequently won’t be required. I personally feel like the rug is well made, has no odor, and edges will lay down with time! No under padding needed, rug is perfectly plush and doesn’t leave footprints when I walk on it!
