I really like this rug! It brings a whole different dimension to the room due to the tufted diamonds. For me its got a little too much gray in it and if I had to do it all over I would just get one that was more cream. But it does the job under my sectional and coffee table. Definitely get a rug pad  it makes it so much more comfortable to walk on. I also love the tassels! It gives it a high end feel. I vacuumed the other day with my shark and had no issues whatsoever.  Its a great rug!
