Love these rugs (I purchased two 2x6 runners). The colors are very vibrant. Great rug for the price. They do seem to shed a bit, but could be just because they're new. I am a little disappointed that for such a cheap rug, maintenance is not easy. It basically recommends they be professionally cleaned, and with a puppy, that's kind of an issue for us. But a minor complaint. They're very soft, colorful, and a solid purchase!
