The rug has a wonderful and simple pattern, with bands of very subtle color that will blend with any decor.   Initially, it did shed a lot but is getting better with time.  One complaint is that some of the fibers contained in the color bands seem to have pulled away from the rug itself. Not sure if that's due to the fiber content, the rug construction, or my new vacuum.  I do love the rug though and would otherwise give it 5 stars.

Pros: Good looks and texture, great value
Cons: Possible fiber quality issue
