I have mixed feelings about this rug.  I really love the design, but I’m disappointed by the condition.  It’s very dirty and stained, and almost looks used.  There are some stains and also hard dirty spots all over that feel like dried globs of glue with dirt in it.  It really is a beautiful design though.  Also, like other review stated, it is a deep cream and black (not white and black), and it does shed very easily.  That stated, my biggest complaint is just stains, dirt, and hard glue spots.
