Looks nice but it sheds material . This makes it a pain to maintain.

I bought this to go under my dining table. It looks very attractive and feels good on the feet. It has shed very little so far (as opposed to my living room rug, which seems to shed like there's no tomorrow!). THe color is a lot more blue than it looks in the picture -- the 'slate' name is correct; it is a slate blue brick pattern with some brown and beige as well. In the image online, the rug looks a lot darker and more brown, so be advised it is much bluer than that. Overall I am quite happy. The design is simple but comtemporary and goes well in my apartment.

The rug was darker than I had anticipated but it is a nice neutral and matches our mushroom colored sectional.
