Really beautiful rug for my son's nursery. The look is even better in person as you can see the detail and depth. Colour is a nice cream/off-white. Finishing is nice. I'm so pleased with it! It does shed but after about 3 months of use (and vacuuming it about once or twice a week), it hardly sheds anymore. It did add a non-slip lining underneath the part that was no anchored by furniture. Really lovely rug, I would highly recommend.
