Received it yesterday. It was much lighter than I thought from the picture. It's the 1st thing that I've ordered from AllModern that I wasn't thrilled about. I had seen other reviews that it's thin, but it said 1/2" in the specs, supposedly the same thickness as another area rug that I had ordered from AllModern previously. It's not as thick as the other one. It's still  uncurling--have had it upside down, then right side up and kept stepping on it.. 

The light part is almost white. From the picture it looked more of a lighter grey with darker grey pattern. It's going to get dirty very quickly. I checked the instructions and it said to get it dry cleaned. That would cost more than the rug, so guess I'll toss it if I can't spot clean it myself.

It shouldn't be described as a "gray" area rug. It's more white with some grey. I am not happy with this purchase.
