Completely in love with this rug! It goes so nicely in our modern-rustic themed living room. The shag aspect of the rug is very plush, and upon delivery was easy to lay out and take proper form from being rolled up. The only thing is that the rug smells like chemicals upon initially unpacking it, but that scent dissipates after the first 1-2 days. There is no piling, and the carpet fibers have so far remained in tact. The item is exactly as described and pictured.
