Love at first sight! I go through living room rugs about one every three years due to dogs, and high traffic, but this is my favorite rug I've ever had! My two year old loves how soft and plush it feels and is constantly playing on the floor now. The rug is more cream colored than the photo shows but I was actually happy with that. It looks quite white in the photo. The striping is grey (looks taupe brown in the photo). I have experience zero shedding like usual with new rugs. Another great purchase from Wayfair!
