Have the rug only a week and so far I like it.  It goes well with the rest of the living room, the grey/taupe colors blend well with other neutral tones in the room.  The pop of blue is nice, but not overstated, but subtle.  No shedding & no smell.  I bought the 7' x 10' so I can see the whole rug without any of it hiding under furniture.  It's a little thinner than I expected but a good rug pad underneath will give it a nicer, softer feel underfoot.  I would recommend it.
