"The color, texture, density, and durability of this rug are all fantastic. I have always loved the look of shag, but hated the shedding...and this gives me exactly what I wanted. I get compliments from everyone. It begs you to run your fingers through it. Only down side I have seen is that your fingers can feel sticky after touching it, but I assume that is the stain-resistant substance, so it's worth it. I haven't spilled anything yet, so I can't comment there. I would recommend to just about anyone."
