Beautiful rug, feels soft enough. It sheds a lot but that's expected with a rug of this material and price. The only complaint I have is that if I sit on the rug with leggings on or a fabric that 'catches' things, a lot gets caught to it and its frustrating to get off. Usually if I'm folding laundry or something on the floor I just lay a towel down. Overall the rug looks great and gets a ton of compliments.
