I really wanted a wool Moroccan rug, but with two pets who shed a ton I didn't want to deal with a shedding rug too. I read the reviews and took a chance by ordering the big 9 x 12 version of this rug for my massive living room. It arrived quickly and is now looking gorgeous in my living room. It's the right amount of soft and shaggy and the style goes perfectly with my mid century modern house. LOVE!
