The rug is great.  Especially liked the darker color and the thickness of the pile.  We had bought this same rug in a larger size from Haverty's here in Jacksonville, FL.  The match is almost identical but the thickness of the one purchased locally doesn't seem to be as thick.  Both rugs, being wool, are shedding quite a bit.  Had to empty vacuum cleaner once and Roomba several times.  Will continue vacuuming until shedding slows down.  Overall, we're very pleased with the rug.  The pad, however, doesn't seem to be of the same quality as the one we purchased locally and cost more than the one for the larger rug.
