This rug is beautiful.  Just as described with a great price.  Soft and plush underfoot.  I did buy a carpet pad that adds to the plushness.  The colors are a soft white and gray.  The pile is long in some places.  I have not tried to vaccum it yet but can't imagine using a full powered vacuum with the beater bar but that's just common sense.  I would highly recommend purchasing this rug.
