As I've been shopping in many home decor/remodel stores I have felt shag rugs to be too coarse and scratchy feeling.  I was pleasantly surprised when this one arrived after ordering online and was extremely soft underfoot, plush shag for minimal cost! My one year old likes to lay his face on it and snuggle.  I have this in the master bedroom and the rug adds dimension and coziness against a dark moss wall, and ash colored wood flooring. Very minimal shedding. 

Pros: great value, cozy
