Love the look of this rug.  The only downside so far is that it does shed some of the thinner threads that are in the mix.  The rug has thicker and thinner threads and the thinner tend to shed slowly, one or tow here and there.  The rug is soft but you can feel the knots through the fibers.  The color has gotten better as the rug has been in use.  At first it was laying down in a fashion that made it appear lighter and now it has more of the darker color.
