This rug was a special splurge for my daughter's new big girl room. I had been looking for a rug just like this and it does not disappoint. It has been in her room for about 6 months and it is holding up wonderful. It was on back-order when I first wanted to buy it, and I held out as this was the exact rug I wanted. Wayfair also notified me when it was back in stock! It looks perfect in her room and she loves it. It does shed a bit, as it is new, but it is much less now. It is very well made! I highly recommend buying a quality rug pad for this beautiful rug. It makes all the difference under-foot and also will protect your floors.
