We've purchased several different rugs from your site to date and we have honestly loved them all! The colors in the Basswood rug are absolutely beautiful and the picture is a true reflection of what the rug looks like in person.  I really need to take some pictures and post them so you can see just how great they all look.  We've gotten nothing but compliments on the rug from everyone that's visited our home.  We haven't had any issues with excessive shedding or loose threads popping up at all.  The rug is placed over wood flooring underneath some tables so it's not in a high traffic area, but it's such a good quality rug that I think it would do well even in high traffic.  Five stars for sure!
