Was hesitant to purchase at first, but I'm so glad I did. The rug is very plush and is a true shag. It does not shed like some other shag rugs. I've heard talk about some rugs having a factory smell, thankfully this one didn't. The colors of the smaller diamonds shapes were difficult to see before purchasing. The colors ended up being, orange, pink, and black. They thankfully aren't overly bold. If you are considering buying just do it was worth it.
