Beautiful rug. Lots of different colors: red, navy, pink, purple, grey, beige - but it all looks very neutral together. Rug is not a thick pile, but it's still very soft (not very cushioned, but still soft). No shedding. It sits under my couch/ottomon and is so far holding up well in this high traffic area (I've had it for two months). The different colors make it great for hiding stains if anything is spilled (yes, I've already spilled red wine on it - can't even tell where it was spilled...win!). Awesome rug for the price.
