This rug was gorgeous brand new. We loved it, the color, the plush feel. I thought it was perfect. 4 months later...its dingy, matted, does NOT vacuum well, and looks like I have had it on my floor for 10 years. VERY dissapointed for the money that was paid. If you are putting it in a NO traffic area-it may work. If you have kids or pets BEWARE-this will be a waste of money. It is really a shame- the color was the perfect silver gray and it did feel so nice and plush in the beginning...
