This rug is incredible. It was too plush for the landing area I had in mind for it, so it is next to my bed, making that first step like walking on a cloud. I would love to have a huge one in my living room. If I were to win the shopping spree, I would buy an 8x10" size. Does not shed, vacuums well, the pile is about 2" thick!! but not really a shag, it's too dense. Do not hesitate to purchase this rug. It is my favorite rug of all time!
