I loved the way this rug looked in my white gray and black kitchen. It seemed to be of very nice thickness and quality. Unfortunately, this rug was almost impossible to clean, but the absolute worst problem was the shedding of fibers from this rug. They would stick in clumps on the bottom of our stools at the kitchen island, but when I kept finding them on the tables in the family room a room away (open concept), I was done. I was afraid that my husband and I were breathing in these fibers. Yes, vacuumed it all the time. Avoid! Done, done, done with this rug!
