This is the perfect rug for our space. I love how it pulls everything together in our living room. As others have said, it is a little sheddy. I've filled the vacuum completely 3 times now. But I have a dog so I'd be vacuuming anyway. And as much as I really do love it, I will say that it's more white than blue. In the picture it looks blue with white detail, but in reality the white is what really stands out.
