The image above looks great; nice color, shine, form, but plan on something unexpected when this rug arrives. That silver you see, it's not a sheen of shiny threads, it's like... a [chrome]silver paint, or plastic. Not sure what it is. When you first see this rug rolled up, you're like oh no, this is trashy, horrible, no way! Gotta say though, when I unrolled it, laid it out, it's pretty nice. I hope my client feels the same way.
