This rug is beautiful. The colour is exactly as shown in the pictures and I was happy with the quality when it arrived (initially) - heavy, lays flat, feels nice under feet, soft. However, like others have commented, there is a fair amount of shedding. I've had it for a little over a month and it still sheds quite a bit...it improved after the first couple weeks so I'm hopeful it will continue to improve with wear and vacuuming. As it is really noticeable on my dark furniture and when I wear black socks! One other small criticism is that it was about 2" too short. I ordered a 6'x9' and it is 6' x 8'10". Also after the first month the corners started to warp/bow. So now the rug appears to be slightly oblong rather than a rectangle. I tried to return it but missed the 30 day window (by a few days). Frustrating. It's nice looking but not worth the price I paid for it.
