I'm not a fan of shag rugs as
 I feel visually they aren't
 the greatest, I prefer the
 wool rugs... However I wanted
 something fluffy and kid
 friendly on our super hard
 tile floors. My husband loves
 the rug... I think it's ok.
 It's not white, more of an
 ivory -yellowish color. The
 gray areas do have black shag
 pieces in it as well.
