This rug has a beautiful design that I like. It is white-white with dark gray . It took one night for the rolled up end to straighten out. I'm not sure how well it will hold up to the vacuum though. There were a few loops that were longer and they are quite soft so I am hopeful the loops don't get ratty looking in time. I am using it in my bedroom so it is not a high traffic area. It is very soft under my feet, perfect for my use. I will caution you this, it has a very strong chemical smell. I have been airing my room out everyday when I head off to work. The first night it was downright nasty and I almost went to the couch. I applied Febreze so I could sleep the next night. Nothing like putting a chemical smell over another chemical smell...:(
