This rugs adds such a beautiful touch of elegance to a space. On its own, it would be too thin on hardwood, so make certain to purchase a rug pad to lay under it. This rug sheds SO much, however, which is the reason for my rating. It's really made me vacuum way more frequently because I'm always finding its fuzz floating all over my apartment. It also wipes clean very easily.  5 stars if it didn't shed!!
