The rug is not white as
 pictured, it's ivory with
 yellow-ish tinges. It is soft
 but there are several
 nappy/rough sections (one is
 quite large). I've had much
 softer sheepskin rugs. The
 quality is iffy -the base is
 not evenly sewn on the bottom
 but this should'nt really
 affect the feel of the rug
 when you step on it. Purchased
 on sale, I think it's a great
 rug.
