Absolutely love this rug! I zeroed in on this rug because it was purple, my favorite color and I knew I would love it! Also, I don’t usually purchase round rugs but wanted something different this time. The rug is not “real shag” but my neighbor couldn’t believe it was so beautiful! It’s in my living room and it has changed the whole vibe of the room! I always smile when I walk in and see it! No buyer’s remorse on this purchase!
