Love this rug!  No issues with shedding with the two that I purchased for my bathroom.  I have the 2x3 and the 5x8.  The color is darker than it looked on my iPad, it has a tri-tonal color scheme in addition to different type of threads both thick and thin.  It's very soft and thick with a high quality look and touch.  The small rug did have an order to it that is taking a little while to dissipate.
