Review: Beautiful rug!! - I purchased this rug for a sitting area room that needed some additional 'pop' of color. This rug certainly proved to serve its purpose. It arrived quickly, as do all items purchased from desertcart. It was packaged and protected very well (as a side note, the box is very heavy, so keep some company around to help you carry it in). The colors are exactly what I expected; consequently, I got the rust/multi color. In fact, they were brighter and bolder than what is in the picture, which I appreciated. Yes, there were a couple, literally two, pieces of the burst that were coming out. This was no matter to me since it in no way affected the look of the rug. It happens with most pieces of carpet that are made with this type of material. Yes, it does shed the first couple of times you vacuum it. Again, not an issue for me since most types of materials shed with the first few cleanings (rugs, clothes, etc.). Speaking of vacuuming, this was my biggest concern since I have dogs. I didn't want to buy a rug that was going to fall apart after I vacuumed it. If you turn the spinners off, I believe this was a manufacturer suggestion, there will be no problems; it still cleans up nice. Overall, I really love this rug! It is a good price for a quality piece. It actually does hold up to heavy foot traffic. My dogs walk on it all the time. My son takes his cars and trains and runs them through it constantly. I have yet to have a problem. If you are looking for a bright, fun rug to add some life to a room, this is the rug for you.

Love it! So thick! And beautiful!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ True to its picture and description
*by B***3 on October 13, 2012*

This is one of the most unique rugs I have seen. I have been shopping for an area rug for living room area for months (both in-store and online) and came across this one online. I was hesitant to buy a rug online but after reading many positive reviews on a variety of sites that sell this particular rug, I purchased it. Amazon had the best prices online for this same rug (hundreds less compared to some other sites). Once it arrived (within a couple days) its quality and uniqueness was far beyond my expectations and is one of the best purchases I have made. The colors are vibrant against the dark brown base and the shag style of the bursts enhances its appeal. Everyone compliments it when they see it. I bought the 6x9 and like it so much I am purchasing a larger one as well for my dining room. It can really accent a number of decorating styles. Also, I have vacuumed it and have had no issue with the shag pieces coming out.
