Bought this rug in white to use in my bedroom. Gives it a very airy, bright, and comfortable feel. The rug is super soft to walk on, and the dog loves laying on it. Surprisingly enough, even with the dog walking across it and wearing shoes on it once in a while, it doesn't pick up dirt or stains. (That said, it's a good thing, because it's not very easy to vacuum.) 

You can see a little bit of the underlying fabric if the shag is all swept to one side, but not noticeable enough to make me love it any less.
