Love this rug, it looks just as pictured. It is well made and looks so cozy! However, I wouldn't recommend this rug if you have messy kids/pets/etc as it would be hard to clean spills that get under the braids. It does shed badly, but I don't mind since I don't sit directly on it and the fluff is easily swept up. It is a bit uncomfy to walk on, but I don't have a rug pad so that might help! Overall super happy with my purchase!
