FYI: i know a few people have mentioned this, but I wanted to reiterate--this is more of a blue-grey than a light grey. It works without living room,so we didnt' mind so much, but I would have been disappointed if I was expecting the light grey.

One complication this rug has, is the white pattern is slightly raised from the grey background. That is something I didn't realize, and provides a challenge for the small vaccuum i have for area rugs.  The suction isn't strong enough do compensate for the change in pile height.

Other than that, I loved that I was able to get this rug in a unique size (6x9 is hard to come by), that suited the size of my living room. And the rug itself is of good quality...
