I LOVE this rug. It looks perfect in my living room, where my color scheme is grey and black. It was a bit lumpy when I first laid it down but it flattened out quickly. It also seemed a little slippery? Like my feet slid around a bit on it, which was odd but that also went away quickly. I used a grip pad under it to keep it in place. The pattern is lovely and is great at hiding dirt and dog hair :) a vacuum cleans it very well and looks good as new.
