So I started out with this runner.  Was so impressed with the quality/color that I then ordered the same grey run in 8X10 and was also impressed with the quality/design/color.  Now intend to order yet another.  Everyone who comes to my home LOVES these rugs. It says "shag", but to me it is just a nice think pile with a beautiful scroll design.  Easy to keep clean, doesn't show dirt or cat hair.
