This rug is gorgeous! Exceeded my expectations so much! I love how the pattern is larger on the 8 x 10 as it helps my room seem larger than it really is. If you want to see a better view of the rug, see it on my blog here: 346living.com/2011/06/01/my-rug-addiction-continues It's super soft and thick which is great and I also only noticed a small amount of shedding, nothing a good vacuum a week couldn't handle. The color is more blue, but I do see hints of slate gray under certain lighting, either way I love everything about it!
I haven't purchased this rug yet, but was reading the reviews. I noticed so many people complaining about it shedding. Just in case you are reading those reviews and don't know or understand quality. You want a rug that sheds, this means its a natural fiber. Wool rugs will sheds for several months before they stop. So don't let that hinder you from your purchase, as I guess some people don't understand what a good quality product comes with.
I poured over reviews of this rug for several days before purchasing because I was enamored with the design but fearful of all the horrible shedding stories I heard in the reviews. I took the leap, purchased the rug and it has been fantastic. We have had it for several weeks to a month now and I have had zero shedding problems, at least nothing noticeable. If you get down at eye level with the rug you can see a few miniscule fibers on the surface, but it is a very thick hand-tufted rug, so this is normal. And it is so minor I haven't even thought about vaccuuming every other day like some of the other reviewers. Great design, great price for the size, no massive shedding issues - don't be dissuaded by the bad reviews.
On one end of the rug, there were very light light bluish white spots. It seems maybe the color wasn't saturated all the way through or maybe it was used by someone previously and sprayed some bleach on it--who knows. Anyways, it was bothering me enough to return it. Also, it shed like CRAZY. I had vacuumed twice a day for 2 weeks straight and it still filled up my dyson all the way. I know from past experience a good quality rug will not shed like that. Quality wools rugs have very small minor shedding, this rug was extreme shedding.
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this rug. I get so many compliments on it, and the rug is SO plush and soft, and feels MUCH more expensive than it actually is. It does shed a little bit, but the shedding does go down and let me tell you it's not that bad and it's definitely worth the $$!

The rug is really nice and makes a statement in a room because of the large scale of the pattern. It does not shed like a lot of new wool rugs and looks great. However it is much more blue than it look sin the picture. More of a slate blue.
Beautiful, heavy, soft rug, was hoping it would be a bit more gray but still love this item.
First of all, I was warned. I saw the reviews that said it sheds. Then from people who pooh-poohed that by saying "only real quality sheds". Having bought several wool rugs in the past that shed a bit I thought "I know what I am doing. I can handle some shed." Six months later I regret being a review snob. First let me say the rug is beautiful and a great price. Really good deal. However I am so happy this thing sits under my formal dining table and rarely gets tracked on. If I had to clean up after it everyday I would just cry. A quick go over with your vacuum will fill the canister up. Once in a peevish mood I vacuumed and cleaned out the canister 10 times - it still kept shedding! Pull a chair back, clumps of shed. Walk on it, shed. Let it sit there unmolested for days - shed. Seriously. I think those little wool strands are making babies The pills, clumps and little tumbleweeds of shed just keep on multiplying.
I adore this rug! For years, I've been searching for the perfect area rug for my large hardwood floor family room without breaking the bank. I've gone through several cheap, smaller rugs just to fill the space and I've never been happy. I finally feel like our family room is complete with this rug. It makes the room cozy with its warm color, chic design, and plush feel. Yes, it sheds, but it's nothing that a regular vacuuming can't handle. I also love that the border and design is not white, but rather an oatmeal color. With 3 small children and a dog, I think this color will hide potential stains better. The colors are also neutral enough to go with a wide variety of decor. I am pleased with this purchase, which by the way arrived in only 3 days and now I can focus my decorating efforts on other areas of my home.
This rug was something I had been looking for for some time. I wanted something unique but not flashy and this met my needs exactly. High quality and lovely colors for my guest room. I am so glad to have found such a nice rug for such a reasonable price.
