This rug looks great in my space. Very modern look but still cozy. When it arrived I did have to massage it a tiny bit to get the shag to get fluffy (it was kind of mashed down from being rolled for travel). I did notice that it has a little bit of a residue on it when I was rubbing it, but that was only when I rubbed the entire thing with my hands, so it's not really an issue. Haha.
