I would give this rug 5 stars but it does tend to shed quite a bit in the beginning.  Have to go over it several times with the vacuum.  However, the design itself is on point and the color is true to the pictures.  I wanted more gray than blue and that's exactly how it looks.  Not as soft as I would have liked but not a big deal.  Love my new area rug.  Brightens my room up for sure.
