Although the first order of this rug was lost in transit, Wayfair came through quickly with a replacement.  This rug is large, heavy, and thick.  We have it over carpet in our living room.  It unrolled beautifully with no worry of curled edges.  We don’t have furniture over it, which makes the pattern become the focal point of the room.  We’ve received many compliments on it.  It does shed because of its thickness, but we can live with that!  It vacuums nicely.  One of our best purchases!
