Nice, thick rug. So far, it does not seem to be shedding as mentioned in other reviews. I aired it out on the patio for a day before putting it in the house because natural fiber rugs tend to smell a little musty initially, and that did the trick. Notably soft on the feet, as well (particularly compared with other natural fiber rugs that we have had). Overall, great rug for the price and I would order it again.
