I love the look of this rug. We have it in a high traffic area (living room) and have had it down for a couple months. The white part sheds a ton, but it's manageable when vacuumed every day. Parts of the gray are starting to pull, but I think that may be due to my labrador's claws! The color is so pretty. A muted gray (not at all blue like some grays can tend to be) and the white is an ivory. Overall a good purchase.
