Super soft and cushy to sit on. Is extremely beautiful! The white is white and the colors are so vibrant! I didn't know if Roomba would vacuum or not. Tested it out and Roomba does struggle some but is able to get on and over it. The tassels did NOT get hung up inside Roomba.  I too have concerns about being able to keep the white clean as well, but overall it is such a beautiful rug!
