This rug was perfect for my project. Quality seemed very good. It is a wool rug so a little stiffer them some other rugs I purchased recently. It did flatten out over the course of a week. It’s thick. I have not noticed excessive shedding which was one of the concerns noted in other reviews. It does have a slightly yellowish tint which I didn’t expect for the photos. I notice it more with artificial lighting than with natural light. However I absolutely love the rug and it looks great in my room.
