I had to leave a review bc the beauty of this rug far exceeds its cost. The grey chevron is raised pile, while the cream chevron is knotted, making it a a dream to walk on and look at. Going into the room it's dark grey, leaving the room it's silvery, then every shade in between as you move around the room. I originally bought it for my bedroom with dark brown hardwood floors, and it looked amazing, but moved it to the living room and it's absolutely gorgeous on my tan and grey travertine tile floors. And the chevron print is tight enough to not clash with other prints in the room. I highly recommend this rug!!
