I hope you have made your decision by now, but in case you haven't,...... how this product appears in anyone's home has no bearing on your decision. Best to purchase a box or get samples and place them in your own environment and see how the product appears under your light conditions & with your room finishes.

It's important to note that many of these products, made overseas, are simply purchased and privately labeled by US distributors. So this may actually be the same product sold at scores of other retailers but under a different name.

That looks like zebra stripes. Rather unattractive, I think.
