We purchased this rug 2 months ago, and WOW, we just love it.  Absolutely gorgeous!!!  We really lucked out purchasing it on sale at 52% off.  This is a very high quality rug, the colours are perfect for our Century Home.  The first few weeks it did shed some what but that has seized.  The rug is in a very high traffic area of the home therefore we required high quality material.  I only have positive things to say about this rug.
