Overall happy with this rug, but there's something strange visually with it.  I bought the large 9x12 version for our family room, and the pattern that you see in the pictures here is only visible from one side of the rug.  From the other side it looks mostly white with a faded indistinct pattern.  I've vacuumed the rug, but this visual effect still persists.  I'm not sure if it will persist as the rug gets used or not.  But I'm happy with the rug and the softness (with a 0.33 rug pad under it).
