The rug is true to its color (Ivory) it vacuums well. But, it sheds! Little knots that look like tiny cotton balls. It’s not exceptionally bad, but guess it’s quality of rug. The shag holds up well walking on it. I placed in my bedroom on bedside. Looks nice, easy to spot clean. Caution Be careful spraying flammable cleaning products on it. Check the lining of the rug before applying a carpet cleaner.
