This is a beautiful rug.  I have it in my informal dining area off a kitchen with a round table on it.  The colors are really beautiful and work well with greys.  The teal is a soft teal and not harsh or overly blue.  It is a thicker pile than I expected, but it make it look nicer in my opinion.  I have had this rug for about 6 months now and it is still shedding quite a bit although slowing - I do need to vacuum it about every 4-5 days to keep the fuzz down.  A good buy!
