Have gorgeous dark almost-black flooring. Needed a rug to offset and brighten the room, however, the first rug I purchased (from another vendor) ended up shedding like mad. Started to have anxiety if I didn't swiffer every two hours. Finally caved and realized i needed to find a new rug. Saw the reviews for this one and ordered - arrived early, was even better than I expected. First - NO SHEDDING! The color is a bright creamy white, with shimmer accents. Very plush, soft pile. All in all a great addition to your decor, and to your sanity.
