Black threads though out the weave, we did manage to pull most of them out

Nice rug, good quality but colors were not as shown ( much brighter) on website. Returned it to wayfai

Bought the 9x12 rug and it’s beautiful ! Can be used in a Traditional or Contemporary style, or somewhere in between. The base color of the rug is not white, but an ivory color which I was so relieved to see. The other colors are perfectly muted yet stand out against the creme base. Colors are various terracotta, blues, gray, gold, taupe and just the right amount of turquoise. Because the backing is fabric, I don’t need a rug pad under it nor worry about chemicals discoloring my wood floors. I have a dog, and am pet sitting for 2 more. They’ve been in and out numerous times a day and the rug is spotless! So don’t let the ivory base stop you from enjoying this rug to transform into a beautifully designed room ! With so many colors in the rug, you can easily give it a new look just by changing out the accent pillows or lampshades. Absolutely love this rug !!
