Great rug, I've had it for about a week now and it's what I had hoped, and even softer than expected. I ran the vacuum over it a few times and it seems very easy to clean. The underside is also a very soft material so if you don't have a rug pad, no worries - this won't scratch your floor. I noticed that it does shed a little bit, I noticed some white threads on my pants when sitting on the rug, but it's a negligible amount and I think it might lessen over time. It doesn't make a noticeable mess. I'm very happy with this rug and highly recommend it.
