I love this rug. Perfect for my breakfast nook. Not much shedding at all (except that personally my cats scratch at it which causes shedding but I just vaccuum it and it looks as good as new!) Thick rug doesn't really need a rug pad in my opinion. Shipped fast I love Wayfair I think they have great communication with delivery texts and it is always fast. 

I now shop for most things at Wayfair because they are really dependable.
