This rug is absolutely beautiful.  The colors are vivid and the carpet has a high-end plush look.  But...It is not vacuum friendly.  I knew this from reading other reviews but decided to order anyway because I am using it in our home office which doesn't get a lot of foot traffic and doesn't require frequent vacuuming.  I gave it touch up vacuuming once it was in place...and I used my battery operated Dyson.  It filled the dirt bin with fibers and I could see where little pulls were starting to gather.  I would not use a full sized vacuum on this carpet.  Beautiful, but probably best suited for rooms with minimal foot traffic.
