I ordered this for a small entry foyer hoping that the smaller size would work.  The rug looked a bit lost in the area, but the next size up just wouldn't fit.  I wish I could have kept it, the colors were beautiful and looked like so nice with my wall color.  The quality of the carpet seemed substantial.  I'm sure had I kept it, it would have shed a while. In the short time I had it on my floor,  there were little "hair" sheds which I'm sure would have stopped over time.  If this carpet caught your eye, you should order it.  Too bad it just didn't fit my application.
