This rug is really nice, I was surprised by the quality. It sheds a lot at first, but most nice wool rugs do when you first get them. Just have to keep vacuuming it. The pile is super dense and thick, I think it's going to last a while. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the photos aren't representative of the rug's real color. It's less white and more light sand colored, but honestly, that will probably be better for wear in the long run.
