I am thrilled with this rug purchase.  The quality is much better than I expected for the price.  It does not shed, it layed out flat within a day, and it is sturdy and good quality.  It has a nice feel under foot, and the colors are beautiful.  The red is a rust/red, and the shades of blue swirl through the pattern.  It is perfect in my family room, and the pile is dense and short, so that even the cat scratching did not leave a mark.  I feel this will hold up much better than more expensive rugs I've had in the past.  

Pros: beautiful colors and pattern, durable, good quality, great price
