I wanted to buy a rug that looked good in my living room (9X12 I think), and that when my dog and cat shed their hair on the rug---it wouldn't look like animals live here. This rug is wonderful! This color seems to hide the pets' white animal hair, and I don't have to vacuum it every day. I am very pleased.  The rug also feels warm and puffy on your feet.  

Pros: All around good value, great looking rug
Cons: I like the color, but it is more of a dark beige.
