Perhaps my expectations were set too high but this rug was not at all what I expected.  It's gray, off white and shaggy just as the picture shows but it is NOT soft.  Each strand is pretty coarse and definitely a hiding ground for hair or pet fur.  I bought a small area rug to place under a small computer desk.  Glad I did not buy a bigger one.  Overall the pictures shown did not lie.  Just not the quality I expected.
