I looked long and hard for a square wool rug 8'by 8' in a design and colors that would go with my acacia hardwood floors. The rug was shipped quickly, was less expensive than at other stores. It is less vibrant than you see on line, but the colors are true to the online picture. It is really striking on my wood floor. It doesn't shed much, is thick, and I feel is a great value. I vacuum it with the suction only, not the brush, and it comes clean with little lint. I did put a non slip pad under it.
