This is a beautiful rug in a neutral taupe color.  I am using the rug in my foyer so it is subject to a lot of traffic.  The rug does not shed at all and stays in place even without a rug pad, although I am sure a pad is recommended.  I have pets and it is holding up very well to the abuse they give it.  The design is pretty and the colors are muted.  I have the dove color which is supposed to be gray but it has a very distinct taupe cast.  I am very pleased with this rug.

Pros: Fabric, durability, ease of cleaning
Cons: There are none but check to make sure the design is compatible with any other rugs you may have.
