This really is a fantastic rug at a great price. While I'm not as in love with the shimmer as some reviewers, it's grown on me and certainly doesn't bother me. The pink is the absolute perfect shade of bright, bold pink, and the subtle tan background colors help mask dirt and debris (I have a dog, so biscuit crumbs and pieces of rawhide happen). I've had it for two and a half months now, and it's held up beautifully so far with absolutely no shedding.
