I bought this rug for the living room of my new apartment . I wanted to give the space a beachy feeling and this rug does the job!!! It looks very pretty and it is very confortable for the feet!!! My only concern was that I read in the reviews that it shedded a lot. But  since i really liked it , i took my chances. I got it yesterday , placed , vacuumed it, and so far so good. It does not seem to be shedding. Of course, time will tell. But right now I am in LOVE WITH IT!!!
