When I saw the picture of this rug I knew it was the one I wanted in my dining room. I had never ordered a rug online before but kind of knew what I wanted. I was so thrilled when it came. It is so much more beautiful than the images here. It looks great in the room, it's very plush. I only noticed a little shedding when I vacuumed the first time, but I expected that. I love it so much I ordered a different rug to go in my living room.
