I love love this rug!  (and overall, i only bought their rugs to use in my new house), but this specific one is very very pretty.  I bought 2 and then 2 more of these specific ones.  They look awesome in family room and in my bedroom.  The colors are not this vivid/bright, but they are more subtle, and still look really awesome.  Rugs are thick; they do shed, but it's wool, so it's expected.
