I really loved this rug but couldn't keep it, sadly.  We needed an area rug for our entry foyer but the only reason for returning it is the "whiteness" of it.  I hoped it would be a little more beige-creamy white but it was very white.  Just won't work for a high traffic area.  We even tried to think of another space for it but just can't use it right now.  It is beautiful and is super soft!  This would be great for a bedroom.
