I absolutely love this rug!  It is so thick and plush and the color is beautiful.  Everybody comes into the house and they have to take their shoes off and wiggle their toes in the rug.  The only thing that might be a problem for some people is vacuuming the rug.  I researched vacuums on line for shag rugs.  I decided on a Hoover, Wind Tunnel II.  I set it on High Carpet and if need be I can switch off the roller bushes.  It takes a little effort to vacuum this rug, however, it is totally worth it. Also, the rug is so thick that once I laid it on the floor it has never moved out of position  Best area rug I have every purchased!!
