Wonderful rug! This has thick fibers and a plush wool feel. Its very nice to walk on andn the colors are almost exactly like the online photos. There is a backing on the rug which shows its great quality. Its heavy and thick so it doesnt shift around on the floor much. Its so heavy that there were hardly any wrinkles in the rug upon arrival and it became perfectly flat in just a couple of days. It does shed a lot and took a few vacuuming sessions before the fibers stopped coming off. Overall a great rug and well worth the cost in my opinion. Would definitely buy again!
