We are obsessed with this rug! First, I ordered the smallest rugs of both this color and the blue to see which we liked better and surprisingly, they also were different texture! This brown one is a bit softer than the blue one just fyi.  We then ordered the larger sized rugs and returned the smaller ones. The only complaint I have is that it still has some waves in it and I’m not really sure how to get rid of them.  But overall, looks expensive and seems to be a great quality rug.  Yes it sheds a tiny bit but hasn’t bothered me and I’m sure it’ll decrease over time.  Highly recommend!
