This rug is very striking. I got the 8x10 size. I was looking for an abstract rug that had the three main colors I am highlighting in my bedroom: dark gray, taupe, and ivory. It is very soft and thick. A downside is that it was shedding tremendously at first, but after vacuuming three separate times, the shedding has diminished. Additionally, it is worth noting that because of its hand-knotted nature without a backing, it lacks rigidity and structure in its shape, so each edge tends to move a little and get out of a straight alignment that requires that I pull it back into a straight line. It is not a big issue for me in the bedroom but might be more problematic in a heavy traffic area. I'm very happy with the purchase.
