Love it. Arrived quickly to my new home. Looks great with the hardwood floors. Had it down a week. No shedding. Not using a rug pad as I couldn't afford one at the time. But don't think ones necessary anyhow. Colors are pretty spot on. Ever so slightly lighter. I used the online picture to buy throw pillows and can't tell any difference. If I had taken a swatch with me. Great rug. Would recommend to anyone who wants it.
