This is a beautiful runner with a subtle pattern in light blueaqua tones. It’s shaded by our bathroom vanity here so you see the cast shadow. The rug has not shed and I don’t have a rug pad but it feels like it won’t move. It also feels very soft and comfortable as opposed to the tile plank floor so it’s doing its job nicely. The rug is getting four stars bc it is actually about an inch or two longer than advertised so it goes up the wall slightly but not a deal breaker in the bathroom. Overall very pleased.
