The area rug is beautiful and nothing short of perfect.  No issues with shedding or loose threads.  I have a house rabbit that is trained for the most part but she did have a small accident on the rug, which easily cleaned right up.  What you see is what you get.  That's one thing I really appreciate about your site over others - your descriptions are more detailed and accurate than what I find on those other big home décor sites.  I very much appreciate the transparency.  I tell all my friends to shop with you.  For the moment, you're definitely my "go-to" site for home décor.  Keep it up!
