Nice affordable shag rug. I wanted an affordable shag rug that is easy to care for because I have a dog who sheds. This is a nice compromise because it's shag but not too expensive or high end (not as dense as others that Safavieh makes). There are other shag rugs by Safavieh that are more expensive and higher end (Hudson Shag, California Shag), but this one is just right for me and what I was looking for. Got it on sale, too!
