I love the way this rug looks in my living room! It really softens the whole room, as I have dark leather couches & hard wood floors.  The only draw back would be the shedding...I have had it for a couple of months now & there are still piles of white wool from the rug floating around on my hard woods.  And I am also having to change out my vacuum bag a couple times a month from vacuuming the rug (before I would only have to replace it every couple months).  So, it is a beautiful piece, but requires lots of cleanup!
