This is a nice rug. The colors are nice and soothing, and it's thick and soft. There is a very little bit of shedding, as is normal for a new wool rug, but not enough to bother us. I wish the yellow color was brighter and lighter, but otherwise I like the aqua and light orange. The gray has a slightly tan color (it is not a blue gray), but it still works well with our modern furnishings and white walls.
