I bought this rug and two of the 2' x 3' size for our kitchen. I really like the weight of these rugs. They are heavy enough to stay in place and the texture grabs any dirt that gets tracked in from outside. I think that the rugs are shedding a bit, but I only notice it when I move the rugs to sweep, so it's not like I'm seeing debris on the floor until I actually move the rugs. A word of warning: the short edges are turned under, which makes the rug fairly thick and on occasion has tripped me up.
