This area rug is lovely, the weave is tight enough that it doesn't shed AT ALL, and withstands the pups using it as their preferred bone chewing/play area. Of course given it's off white it gets a little grungy over time. But it is holding up very well to the pup abuse, and I'm still able to clean it without a problemI had searched for a certain color of yellow to finish decorating a sunroom and had failed three times before I ordered the area rug from Amazon. I was almost afraid to open it, but it was exactly what it said, 'southwestern gold.'. Thanks so much.Need paddingThis gold rug is so pretty and fit my decor exactly the way I hoped it would. I needed to put it under a heavy antique desk that can't go directly on my hardwood floors. It is a short pile, but not flat. The color on my computer is the color I received; gold, with a hint of yellow. My cat loves it, too.I truly liked my rug. The color was the same as advertised, the quality of the shag was good and the thickest was just right. I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a Shag area rug. They came in various colors and if the other color are true as mine was, its a good deal.PERFECT !Perfect color, EXACTLY what you see in the photo!!The pile is wonderful!!NO ODORS!!Wish I had done this months ago!!COULDN’T BE HAPPIER !!Have purchased several of their rugs, never been disappointed!Yes, it's a 1/2" shag - on kitchen tile. But, I love it! I run my vacuum over it ast a medium setting and it looks terrific!I ordered a room size rug and matching runner at the same time from the same brand/type/color settings. The room size came first and color wasn't as pictured but was ok. The runner shipped separately and was a totally different color. Supposed to be "southwest taupe" but looked like a washed out pinkish brown. Didn't match at all. And the quality was terrible. Long pulled fibers, pieces falling out.
