I've had this rug in my office for about a week now and it's exactly what a rug should be. It's very flat which is great for my rolling chair which can easily roll back and forth on it.  Being so flat a rumba type vacuum and easily move from the floor to the rug for vacuuming. The rug doesn't shed and it is great at hiding pet hair and bits of my lunch. The overall rug is lighter in color than I was expecting from the picture but up close you can see all the colors.  When standing and looking at the rug it looks more red and cream with less blue or dark colors. Overall great rug for an office space.
