Seems like a great quality rug. I've only had it a few days but there was no shedding or offensive smell like you read about on some rug reviews. The only "semi" negative is that the picture makes the light color look as if it's a cream color whereas it's actually a very tan color. All the colors are a slight bit darker hue than they look in the pictures. I will try to upload 2 pics I took to show the rugs color more accurately. The second pic, I laid it next to a rug I have and put the "cream" color next to a real cream color on my current rug. I also put a small pure white cloth next to the "creams" for contrast purposes. My rug is 4'x6' so pattern is truncated from the 8'x10 on this site
