I love this rug! I bought the 6x9. I was looking at this rug for weeks, and finally purchased it based on other positive reviews. I am so glad it did! I agree with the others, the pattern is bold, but very beautiful. It really brightens up my small living room. The rug is soft and cozy underfoot. I don't seem to have much of a shedding issue at all. I absolutely recommend this rug if you want a bold pattern, and a pop of color.
