Rug returned.
This rug's muted look was more stripes than an inter-mixed look. Very little grey - far more black. The quality was fine, good feel, and heavy. I returned the rug and exchanged it for the Moroccan Cambridge purple / ivory rug which is far more beautiful [in my opinion]. Probably shouldn't have only given this only 3 stars, because the quality was good, and perhaps others will like the "stripe" look and severity of the black and ivory, but it didn't work for me.
