This rug embodies all that I love about traditional Besaw type carpets, but without the hefty price tag. We noticed it shed at first, but after some research on care for this type of rug, we started vacuuming it horizontally.  Since then, there was no further issue. I love the deep mocha color of the design against the pale tan background. It's modern but adds a lot of warmth to our great room. It feels wonderful on bare feet, and yet has shown to be no worse for the wear with my son regularly romping around on it.Pros: Beautiful, soft, modern, comfort, aesthetic, neutral
