Perfect!
I ordered the 9'x12" rug and couldn't be more pleased with this purchase. The rug is exactly as pictured -- very light and fluffy, and an "almost" white color. It is not bright white, but it is white. Not yellow at all as mentioned in some other reviews. It feels VERY soft to the touch and is well constructed. I bought the Safavieh Durable Hard Surface & Carpet Rug Pad 9'x12', which I recommend, as the Flokati isn't thick or padded at all. The Safavieh rug pad needed to be trimmed about six inches on the short side to satisfy my taste which was easy to do with an ordinary pair of scissors. Others have mentioned this was a difficult task, but I simply used the scissors I had on hand in my kitchen drawer.
Back to the Flokati...it is a beautiful rug and is exactly the look I was going for in my contemporary home. It does, however, shed...a lot. At least for the first week I needed to vacuum twice a day. Now, three weeks later, I'm vacuuming about every second or third day. I find this maintenance level acceptable, you may not. I have the rug placed over a dark wood floor in my living room. The rug fibers migrate to the wood floor, thus, requiring the vacuuming. Remember, when vacuuming the rug you must turn off the beater bar function on your vacuum cleaner. Otherwise, you'll either ruin your new rug or ruin your vacuum cleaner.
Overall, I am completely satisfied with my rug and I LOVE it!
