Has held up well in high traffic area for 2 years. Sheds like a wool rug does but nothing out of control or anything.( It’s not all over the hardwood floors or stuck to my clothes if I lay on it) I vacuum regularly without the beater bar. It’s a dark teal color and a taupe color. Fun rug. I recently moved it out of my family room into my media room and love it in there so much. I got the 12x15 and so it has a wall to wall custom carpet look in there.
