This rug is a steal.  I've had it for several months and I'm very happy with my purchase.  It's cream and black, quite plush. It does shed, but so did my $$$ restoration hardware wool rug.  Note that the cream portion is a solid color, so it does not hide dirt / messes.  I feel like I'm starting to see traffic stains (no shoes on the rug, but I do have a large dog), but then I vacuum and it's fine. So far so good.
