It is WONDERFUL!  I love it!  It is interesting and I'm very pleased to have it on our flooring.  It looks great and feels good.  The colors are really beautiful.  I love the contrast of the light areas and dark.  There's two or three different colors of blue to work off of, which is very nice.  I've had it down for just about a week know (it took me a bit to find a pad) and it's been wonderful.  I haven't had any shedding at all.  Great quality and an outstanding purchase.  I'd rate it a good 4 1/2 to 5.
