I rarely take the time to write a review… but I absolutely LOVE this rug so I had to!  I have light greyblue walls and beige furniture… this rug had the exact colors and design I was looking for.  I know different dye lots may come out differently…on my rug the blue is a grey blue and not too dark.  And the brown is a true brown, not rust.  I know the rug will shed at first.  All wool rugs I’ve owned will shed in the beginning.  This is the 5th rug I’ve gotten from this manufacturer, and my 10 year old rug still looks as the one I just got yesterday.  (And my older rug is in a high traffic zone.). Would not hesitate to recommend this… it’s thick, soft, and looks way more expensive than it was.
