Gorgeous, fun rug. Note: The strands are very clearly black OR white--not uniform gray. But perfect, cute, well made. Centerpiece of my living room < 3

Not exactly what I wanted. Will have to use it somewhere else.

I will say it is perfect for the finished basement room. It adds enough warmth and coziness to make the room inviting. The black and white look is super fun--it definitely reads two tone, so if you are looking for silver or grey, this is not for you. Shedding is not a problem. Needs some fluffing--had to vacuum a few times to get it right. Rug pad is required. The cats love it too :-)

I love this rug in front of my fireplace. So plush and my granddaughters love to run their feet through it.
