Very pleasing design. Colors are as depicted except the base color is not as white as shown but rather a light grayish-beige sand color.
The wool had a slightly unpleasant smell for the first two weeks but after daily vaccuming, the smell has now dissipated. The shedding is also tapering off: for the first week, my iRobot Rhumba had to be emptied right away after passing over the rug. It still vaccums up fine wool particles each time now but it's close to normal now and it is not a problem. (The shedding was never visible on the surface of the rug, even in the beginning.)
I'm very pleased with the quality, the price, the thickness, the colors and the design.
