Beautiful!  The past reviews were correct in that the gray color of the rug is much lighter in person than it shows in the online picture.  That was actually what I wanted and was more than happy to find the reviews were correct and helpful. I have darker gray furniture in the room and was wanting a lighter colored gray rug.  This was the perfect choice.  The quality is excellent - no excessive shedding or loose threads at all. It's worked out perfectly!  In fact, I'm thinking of purchasing a second one.  It's definitely deserving of a full five stars.
