The dye-job is quite discolored. It doesn't show up like this in the photo. The navry color is vibrant and gorgeous. Why in the world would one want to create an image like someone had spilled flour all over the rug. The white "flour" effect is disconcerting. It gives the impression of a badly produced product. Perhaps this was the plan, but that needs to be explained in the description. I need a rug in the place where I put this one and don't have the time or energy to return it. I'll make it work by distracting the eye elsewhere. It's disappointing though to spend this much money on a product that looks shoddy. It wasn't inexpensive! Otherwise, the rug quality is fine. Perhaps the discoloration is the reason why the rug was on sale.
