I bought this in the 9x13 for our great room. I was nervous the color wasn't going to be as shown, but it is...exactly that beautiful shade of blue! We've only had it rolled out for a few days but had people over the weekend that were raving about how great it looks. Add's a great pop of color to our living room. It does shed a little bit...I think I vacuumed it 3-4 times after rolling it out, each time having to empty my vacuum from all the shed. It doesn't seem to be shedding after all the vacuuming, so I recommend spending the time up front to do it.
