I got this rug b/c I was redoing my living room (who else redecorated in the pandemic??), and I wanted something neutral with a little bit of pattern that wasn't too busy, comfy on my bare feet, and fit my space.  This rug delivers on all fronts!  Personally I really like the tassels on the edges that elevates the whole thing, even if you do have to be more careful when vacuuming. I think it hide dirt pretty well, though I do have a lighter brown puppy so the hair isn't as noticible between cleanings :-p  I got the 8x10 size, and in the 5 months I've had it I've been really happy with it.  The shag does get less fluffy in high traffic, but that's with any rug.  Anchored my space exactly like I wanted.  Arrived impressively packaged; it could have been pouring and my rug would have been snug and dry.  Highly recommend!
