I received my rug today and it is fantastic. The wool feel good under foot and it is thick and plush. There is some shedding on the rug, however nothing out of the ordinary for a wool rug. I was a little bit slowful in ording because noone had written a review on it but the reviews on the other rugs similar was 4-5 stars and I thought "ok worse case is I have to send it back". Well this is not going back I will be keeping it. If you are considering this rug, "Go for it the shipping and handling is responsible so why no give it a change?
