Pretty rug! Looks exactly like the pictures. The description says it's cotton and jute, but the rug is actually cotton and wool (I believe 20% cotton, 80% wool). It doesn't seem to shed. Smelled a little funny when first taken out of the package, but not awful and going away with time. Sides of the rugs are turned up a bit from being rolled but hoping that changes as well. It's heavy and seems high quality so far!
