REVISED. This rug is now two years old and anyone who sees it still has their jaws dropped. It's stunning and holds up so well, and I've even spilled things like a little coffee here and there and nothing shows because it's so bright and beautiful and with so many colors you don't notice anything. Since it's wool, it does shed in the beginning but you get that with any GOOD QUALITY rug and that has now stopped and it still looks amazeballs. I just moved into an apartment so excuse the mess, but look at how nice it makes the room. I just wish I got a bigger size! It feels great under your feet with a nice knap to it. You have to vacuum for the first month or so, but it's very attractive and well worth it. I love it.
