Love this rug.  I especially like the blend of taupe colored thread mixed in with some black.  We have a dog with black hair so this is perfect for us.  It is very neutral looking, no real pattern to it but that is exactly what we wanted.  I vacuum it without the 'beater' and it seems easy to clean.  If I could change anything, I'd remove the fringe on the ends, but I just folded it under and secured it with painters tape.
I highly recommend this rug.
