This rug is absolutely beautiful and perfect in every way. I love that it is both masculine and feminine at the same time. It is so soft and has absolutely no shedding. It laid flat right from the start too and stays in place. I am using it in a home office that I’m creating due to having to work from home. This rug is just perfect. My husband really loves oriental rugs but they are often too traditional looking for me. This rug is a lovely blend of the two of us ) I couldn’t be happier.
