I love the look and feel of the rug. I bought a 8'6" x 11'6" for my family room and it adds a layer of sophistication and warmth. It looks great and I love the wool texture and the bit of flecks throughout the rug make it even more unique. Yes, it sheds like everyone else reports, but vacuum it right away and often and the shedding becomes less and less. My only complaint so far is the musty smell of the rug. I read reviews and had an expectation that it may have an odor. I don't have the ability to keep it out in the sun our outdoors so I am going to try some recommendations from other buyers and hope that over time the smell dissipates. As of right now, this is a great rug for the money.This rug could have been a beautiful rug if it didn't have all these small dirt marks all over the rug and if the binding was straight. The shedding is awful too. I love the design and color.I wanted to love this rug. It was so soft, easy to clean and looked great…. But that stops the positives. We vacuumed this rug every day for two weeks and it almost filled the canister EVERY time. I don’t understand how it lost so much and never looked patchy or thin in places. We could not sit on the rug because we would be covered in white fuzz. The rug was also incredibly misshapen. The edges were no where near straight, no matter what we did to flatten/stretch it, it never had straight edges. The biggest positive of the rug was it somehow managed to stay clean/stain free with a large dog in the home. If we received a straight rug the didn’t shed on everything I would have absolutely kept this and probably ordered more.Color and texture are better revealed after several passes with vacuum to shed excess material. Short edges are not perfectly straight. Strongly recommend a rubber mat to keep the rug from shifting on hardwood floors. Overall a great value for the price.I really love this rug! It’s very thick and it seems like it’s of good quality. I actually may buy another one however the musty smell that came with it is the only downside. I’m still working it out. I bought some carpet fresh baking soda to try to Make the smell palatable. I’m hoping it will air out soon. I think for the price and quality, I can deal with the smell. Love it!!!The rug is great at this price point, only shedding is when vacuumed early on. No shedding onto socks or surface. Very beautiful. My problem was the shipper Amazon used in my metro. They were beyond aggravating, it took me a month to get this rug, they lost it at first, then it was reordered with many mishaps. Amazon compensated me with $200 of Amazon which I appreciate. Made things right. Rug is beautiful, Amazon helpful, shipping horrible.I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of this rug for my newly decorated living room. Imagine my horror when I removed this rug from packaging and unrolled it? It's horribly stained. I don't know if it's just dirt, mold, or what? Absolutely disgusting and disappointing. The standards and guidelines of products for Amazon participation is slipping. Now, I have to repackage and get it out for return---Great. What a waste of my time and money. I will be posting this complaint and pics on social media page.Had a strong smell and had some spots all over . Returned it .
