Love this rug! It's not a stark black and white, but more of an ivory and really compliments my living room. I have a brat dog who likes to mark things and this rug is super easy to clean.  I left it rolled up too long after cleaning it and it now has a few creased areas but I think this will straighten out after a few days. I usually waffle back and forth over purchases and I am so excited that I went for it with this one!
