Rug is soft and thick and seems well made. Also like that there were so many choices in size. Have not experienced any shedding, and no problem with curled edges; laid flat immediately. Colors are darker and more muted than they appear in the photos, which was not a problem for me as they went well enough with my decor, but if you are looking for something a bit lighter or brighter you may not want this particular color set. Good quality for the price.
