Love this rug! It is so soft and fluffy. It looks amazing and the grey lines through it are a soft/medium grey that does not look harsh. No shedding as I've had with some other shag rugs in the past. Not super thick which I like personally so I purchased the Martha Stewart non-slip rug pad which worked like a charm to add the thickness/padding that I like for the living room. Just buy it. This is a great product!
