The colors were right on the money for what we were looking for. The depth of the pile and the overall quality of the rug was a pleasant surprise - a real value for the money. My only quibble is that the pile is shedding quite a lot and requires vacuuming more than once a week to keep the "dust bunnies" from overtaking the room. I know this will pass over time, as it always does with new wool rugs. It just seems a little excessive on this rug.
