I wanted a small rug with a pretty pattern to brighten my bathroom that would be cozy, thick wool for cold days. This little rug is exactly what I was looking for. It fits so nicely that it's as though it's always been there because it has a lived-in look that I favor. So far, it hasn't shed and it's been easy to clean. The fringe, however, is long and I have to be careful to not get it caught in the vacuum.  It took about a week to flatten, but is great now. One of the best things about the rug is that it was even better than the photo indicated in the richness of color and quality of the material. I love it!
