I am so happy with my purchase. This was the first rug I saw that I liked when I started looking at rugs for my dining room. I was discouraged by some of the reviews about shedding, so I moved on. I am so glad I came back and purchased this rug! It is beautiful, I haven't had any problems with extreme shedding, and the price was AMAZING for a 100% wool rug! A great anchor piece for my space!
