I am so pleased with this purchase. I had searched hundreds of rugs online and purchased and returned four rugs before finding this one. I was looking for a rug that would meet a lot of criteria: I wanted 100% wool, and it had to have several colors with an overall lighter background but not too light. This rug fit every requirement. It is under my kitchen table and pulls together the colors from three other rooms that are all open to each other. The background color is a light taupe, not in the yellowish or cream family, more toward the grey family, and there are pops of red, brown, yellow, black, light blue, green, and coral. I vacuumed it and got a normal amount of shedding, nothing more than any other rug that I have. I am very happy about this rug.  

Pros: Versatile, cheerful pattern but not trendy, great quality.
