Be ready for white "fur" to collect in every corner of the room for the first few months of this. Do not sit on it wearing black! The rug is cute but the pile is a little too long to keep clean easily. My daughters both have these rugs in their bedrooms but frequently lose earrings and paper clips in it. I have machine washed them and they come out fine. In hindsight though I would purchase something with a lower pile next time.
