This rug is BEAUTIFUL!  It's exactly what I was looking for.  I have light colored tile floors so I wanted a light colored rug but also with some color (hope that makes sense).... this rug gave me both!  It is the finishing touch to our piano room!  I am very happy!  The look is there for sure, quality is excellent (I've had it four days now, no shedding. I did vacuum it once I got in laid out and again the next day... just to lift the fibers), very soft feel to it.  I love it!
