We have had this rug for almost six months now and I have been very pleased! The rug is in our living room and we get compliments on it from almost every visitor we've had. We have had very minimal shedding from the rug and it is very comfortable underfoot. The colors are not quite as vibrant as they appear on the website but it is still eye-catching and the pattern is bold without being overpowering. One negative to it is that it does have some loose ends that we've had to clip off -- worried that this could result in problems later on.
