As a professional stager, this rug caught my eye immediately for its vibrant colors and bold look. I have purchased several rugs from but this one makes the biggest statement. No offensive odor & minimal shedding expected from 100% wool rug. Colors are bright and eyecatching. Price (on sale) beat all the local stores + shipping was free. If you are looking for a low-key, ho-hum rug ... this one is not for you! But if you are outgoing and adventurous and looking to decorate "outside the box" you need to order this one today! You won't be sorry.
