Hand-tufted Alameda Traditional Floral Wool Area Rug (9' x 12')
I am very proud of the look of the rug and the price. The rug does shed, but this is expected with wool rugs. The color however seemed dingier than I expected (the cream color); it appeared more grey or dirty than a bright clean almost white color that I expected from the product photos online. I still like the rug though. I have only vacuumed it once or twice with Shark, and it seems to be okay, and removes the pilling that appears naturally. I am using it in my dining area, which isn't used often so it has not gotten much wear yet. In the photos I put some products we might all have in our homes for reference to help you calculate the actual colors that are in the cream colored rug. Even my photos seem to make the cream color appear whiter than it actually is. The creme is very dark and is most visible in the corner photo where you can see the crisp white wall next to it. It doesn't always look this way but often it does, which was disappointing, but I still like it a lot. Rug has more green tones than I expected (turquoise and teal) which appeared more bluish in the photos online.
