Its a beautiful, soft rug, BUT the color is NOWHERE near as dark as the photos online make the rug out to be. The rug is a true silver color, and the contrast between the ground and the pattern on the rug are not as defined as one might think. This is the inherent problem with buying things online.....The colors are never really what you are led to believe they are. There are no issues with quality etc. Its only a question of whether the furniture we bought to go with this rug will now work.
