The wool is very nice (yes, it will shed at first) however, the color is way off. This rug is a very cool blue color, not the warm greenish gray in the photo. It was too big to return so I just need to get over it. I would love it if online services could get their color matching on photos improved. I have a well-calibrated monitor and the representation is not accurate.

This rug seems to shed badly when tred upon. Rug will probably wear out very quickly. Not good for homes with children.
