UPDATE: After two years, this rug continued to shed and cause a lot of "dust bunnies". ORIGINAL REVIEW: The rug was a welcome surprise! I was debating between this runner and another one on the site with a similar pattern that was just grey. I'm happy with my decision. While I wish the edges were a bit more "finished" with a colored edge, I absolutely love the presence it has in my home. The colors are a bit lighter that they appear online and the pattern is much larger -- I was pleasantly surprised with both of these variations.
