Revising my review after owning this rug for several months. Initially I was very happy with this rug as the colors are great and it looked perfect in the room. It does shed quite a bit. What is most disappointing (and leading to my low review) is the carpet has horizontal lines that are within the color swatches. I've attached a photo so you can see the lines. It definitely looks machine made and not handmade like the title states. I've been very careful taking care of this rug and vacuum it without the beater bar so I don't think it's something I did. Too bad this happened for the price. I would not purchase again.
