I absolutely love this rug. I ordered the 6'x9' and it was exactly what I was looking for. It gives my living room the feel I wanted. You definitely need a rug par underneath though. I've had it for a couple of months now and the shedding does not seem to be slowing down anytime soon but I have a dog that sheds so vacuuming has never been an issue for me. Every now and then I notice an extra long thread and I think my dog my pull on it sometimes with his claws but I was able to fix easily.
