This rug is incredibly beautiful and the texture is amazing. It is incredibly soft and feels wonderful on my feet. I bought it because the pictures looked great, but was pleasantly surprised when the texture was also amazing. It did shed a ton the first few days I had it, but the shedding has really subsided in just a few weeks. I'm thinking about buying another one for my bedroom! Minus one star because the edges aren't 100% straight, but it still works great in my space.
