Suits my purposes, very attractive black/grey merle effect. Constantly shedding though, even after vacuuming it multiple times. We're using it under a computer desk with a rolling chair plastic sheet - the sticky sheet back is covered in fibres and won't stick to this carpet, ever, even when it's clean/new. Furniture sinks into the pile and leaves a dent. Overall, pleased with the purchase and provides the necessary barrier between the cold floor and my feet.
