I needed a very large rug in light blue or green  for my living room and my options were limited.  I found this in 11 x 15. As far as color, this is gorgeous however even after a year when I vacuum with my Dyson on a low setting it fills up to the max line within a minute or so. I have young children and live in Texas so I vacuum daily to keep the house clean and bugs out.  The rug doesnt shed, but it definitely has never ceased to fill up my vacuum with its fibers.  One other thing is that it isnt soft. It is actually very scratchy.
