This is a beautiful rug! Quality-wise, you won't be disappointed. The color is a nice burnt orange, exactly what I was going for. The blue is between a true blue and a navy. The yellow is a light creamy yellow. It has a Southwestern motif and works well with MCM teak brown furniture. But the 4x4' photo scale isn't accurate. The pattern is larger and more sparse. I like the variation in the wool, it's not solid orange. There's white/cream mixed in. Also, it's super soft to walk on. I've not had any problems with shedding. I vacuum my rugs like carpet, with the spin brush, and I don't have shedding issues. The one I've had for about 6 years that is the same brand as this one still looks great despite the minor abuse from dogs, kids, and spilled drinks. I highly recommend this rug! It's super cute and soft. Just be patient on the shedding, if you don't want to use the spin brush on the vacuum.
