Artistic Wavers Maryland Shag Area Rug, 6'7" x 9', Gray

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm so impressed with this rug! We have a couple rugs in our apartment, but none are as soft as this one (see texture photo). My cat loves laying on it too and it's a beautiful color that's super functional with any decor or color palette you have in your place. This fit perfectly under our dining room table. It could also work in the living room or in your bedroom as it is fairly big. I did let it air out for a couple days before placing it and had no problems with smell and it did flatten out over time but was a bit curled at first. The chevron print is very noticeable and stands out. I would say it is more a gray and cream color chevron it looked more beige in the photo but it's actually more gray. I'm not sure how easy this will be to vacuum since the strands are pretty long we will have to do low suction when we vacuum it and I think it could potentially get dirty quickly since it is a lighter color and with use of course. I think it is a fairly thick carpet though bc we haven't had bad indents from our chairs yet on it which was a bit surprising to me. Overall I would definitely have purchased this rug if I hadn't been gifted it by influenster.
