Beautiful rug! Hard to beat this price for a thick handmade rug. Like most wool rugs, this does shed a bit and the fibers will get on your clothes if you sit on it. But it's fine if you're just walking on it. The design and colors are absolutely gorgeous. So vibrant and lively. Someone gave it one star for shedding. I feel sorry for them that they hated this beautiful piece and didn't enjoy it.
