Gorgeous quality rug with beautiful design for a good price.  Does shed a very small bit (tiny fibers) but seems fine if vacuumed.  I wouldn't let the small shed stop you from purchasing.  The color gray is a little bit of a blue shade (very subtle) and it's definitely ivory and not white in color.  I bought the matching doorstep rug and they made the room complete!  Very happy with purchase and fast delivery!
