Very happy with this purchase. 
 We purchased a thick rug pad to 
 go with it as we have placed it 
 in our living area. It sheds a 
 ton, but we have only had it 
 down about 2 weeks, I think 
 this is fairly common with wool 
 rugs, I expect it to dissipate as 
 time goes by. We have small 
 children and I think that 
 although it is lighter in color it 
 will disguise spots/spills well. I 
 have no complaints.
