This rug works well for the purpose I purchased it for, which was to replace a cream shag rug in my bathroom. I had a different rug with a similar look from Wayfair for a couple of years and it had finally lost its ability to fluff beneath the vacuum. This one is similar but the shag is considerably shorter. In fact, I’m not sure I’d classify it as shag. Still, it looks nice and will work well. I appreciate how well it was wrapped and the extra instructions included, which are nice Wayfair touches. Overall, I’m happy with it because I didn’t need a very shaggy rug, but be aware that it does have a relatively low pile for “shag.”
