LOVE this rug! So thick and soft. People complained about shedding, what do you expect?? It is WOOL. Yes, it does shed but not nearly as much as other wool rugs I have owned. And the shedding doesn't last forever. The rug is absolutely beautiful in my midcentury modern living room. Complements my tan leather couch, fig tree and Bohemian cushions perfectly. Just what I was looking for to finish my room! Thank you Wayfair for another great purchase!!
