We loved the rug when we first saw it online. The colors immediately caught our eye. Let me tell you, the colors are beautifully vibrant on the actual rug. We placed the rug in our "coffee area" on hardwood floors. it makes a colorful statement, yet is very warm and comfy on the feet. It is a wool rug, so it will shed extra wool material for a while, but it has maintained its vibrate colors. It is touted as a children's room rug, but it looks and feels much more mature. I would recommend it anyone look into highlight a spot in their home. Cheers!
