This rug is exactly what I was looking for!  I wanted a lighter-colored rug to offset darker flooring and furniture, but I didn’t want it to be all white. This rug looks and feels like a higher-end rug, despite the low cost. It is so soft!  It does need vacuumed often, as it shows lint and pet hair pretty easily, but that’s to be expected of any light-colored rug. I’m very pleased with my purchase!
