This rug is the perfect addition to my coastal living room. The color is beautiful. I added a pad beneath it so it is very cushiony to walk on. I trimmed a few inches from the edge of the pad so the edge of the rug lays nicely against the hardwood floors. It does shed some. But not as much as some other reviews I’ve read. The white is higher and more plush than the navy blue, but that’s what makes it look so nice. The navy is wool and a little more scratchy than the white. The 8 x 10 is the perfect size for my living room since I have a large sectional. I’ve received many complements   on it, even from my 2 year old granddaughter who loves playing on it.
