Do not buy this rug unless you enjoy vacuuming everyday.  At first I didn't enjoy the texture - the white pattern is raised and at a different plane than the blue. It felt odd to walk on.  Then within a week, it began to look like there was dog hair everywhere. It was the white pattern coming off and being visible on the dark blue-almost like grey hairs everywhere.  Had it not done this I would have loved it bc I became accustomed to the raised feeling under my feet quickly.  Although I just vacuumed it, and it looks somewhat decent now, it won't come tomorrow and I'll have to vacuum again.  Even then it still won't have the same beauty it did when first unrolled.  Also the blue is really rough textured but durable.    the white isn't do durable as clearly it's separating and coming off. Yet for $145 for a 6x9 I guess u get what u pay for.
