This rug is so soft and plush and it feels amazing under bare feet. I love that it’s white... not ivory or eggshell... white! The black design has some grey in it, which I also like. I haven’t vacuumed it yet, so I can’t comment on that. It doesn’t appear to shed or leave a ton of fuzz on your clothes if you lay/sit on the floor. We are finally getting around to decorating/furnishing our living room and this rug is the perfect anchor piece. I’m very happy with my purchase.
