On the positive side, this rug is incredibly soft, providing a plush and comfortable surface.  However, the downside is the durability.  After a few months, I noticed signs of wear and tear.  Moderate shedding is expected, but this has been significant, and the fibers tend to pile up like a cheap sweater.  Additionally, the color of the rug is noticeably lighter than what was depicted online.  This difference isn't a dealbreaker, but should be noted if you're trying to match or want a darker color to conceal dirt and stains.  If you have pets or a high-traffic area, this might not be the ideal choice.
