This rug is gorgeous! I looked at hundreds of rugs here before I decided on this one, and I couldn't be happier! I got the 10x13. No fraying, no shedding. It is thin but feels very soft.  The individual threads are dyed- meaning that the pattern is woven in, not stamped.  The colors are amazing, and if you look at the photo with the mirror, the colors are vivid AND pastel, depending on which direction you look at it. So depending on what you need for your room, you just turn the rug around. Highly recommend!
