Wonderful product
This rug pulled our living room together beautifully!
Yes, it sheds (as other reviewers have noted) however that's to be expected of ALL wool rugs (my parents have a wildly expensive, centuries old Persian rug that still sheds lightly). Shedding seems to stand out a bit with this particular rug simply because of the large sections of contrasting colors. For those of you who worry about shedding, follow these steps to minimize it:
1. Vacuum the rug every day for the first 2 weeks or so. Take your time while doing so; the beater bar needs time to rough up the loose fibers so the vacuum can suck them into the canister. After a few weeks, continue to vacuum the rug at least twice a week, unless your rug is in a high traffic area, in which case you should vacuum more as dirt and grit from shoes will work its way into your new rug and will create friction, which will loosen fibers.
2. Use a pad. This reduces friction, which in turn reduces shedding.
Shedding should subside within 5-6 mos if you follow these guidelines. It may sound like quite a bit of effort, but the fact is that caring for wool rugs takes a small amount of work. If you're after a completely maintenance free area rug, look for one made with synthetic fibers.

bright. bold. gorgeous.
We love this roundabout rug! We bought the 8x10 and it makes a huge statement in our living room! The rug is a lovely deep sea blue and cream color. So classic! It makes a bold statement and it is the first thing people compliment when they walk into the room. We just love it!

Beautiful rug, sheds alot
I had been looking at this rug for months and finally took the plunge. The pattern and colors are absolutely beautiful - really adds a modern touch to the room. Quality is also very good. The only down side is the shedding - as another reviewer put it, "it sheds like a beast."

Beautiful!
My wife and I bought this rug for the living room in our new (first) home... and it's absolutely beautiful! Beware of other reviews that complain about shedding... it's a wool rug, so it will shed and require regular vacuum-ing for months before the loose fibers are eliminated. Aside from that, we absolutely love the rug and have gotten numerous compliments about it. We bought the 8x10 and the pattern looks great. All in all, we would definitely recommend this rug (or similar CB2 rugs)!

shedding nightmare
Although this rug is beautiful and rich in color and pile, this rug sheds like a beast. You have to vacuum it daily and the fibers keep coming up. I steam cleaned it once and the process almost ruined my steam cleaner because of how many fibers it pulled up. Do not buy this rug unless you are willing to vacuum it daily as another review stated.

Less Impactful, Lower Quality
I ordered the 5x8 size thinking the print was substantial enough but in a 5x8, you don't see nearly as much of the pattern as shown in the pictures.
I agree with the other reviewer on the quality - it got really fuzzy very fast and the blue parts are already covered with cream fibers. We've had it two weeks and have to vacuum it almost daily.

Exceptional Quality
i was worried about the color, but am very happy with my purchase. very thick, great quality, bold statement! the blue is not as bright as the photo would indicate, but the navy color adds a touch of sophistication with the bold geometric design. have no problems with pulling or snagging when vacuumed.

Very cheaply made
This rug is extremely cheaply made. I had to return it twice already because the fibers were pulling. When you vacuum it, it pulls. When you walk on it, it pulls. Don't waste your money on this rug.

Blue Rug Wins Marathon
This rug really ties the room together, especially for those of us with little to no furniture that isn't black. Your feet will love walking on it...and probably your pets as well.

Stunning!
This rug is just what my formal dining room needed. All of our frontroom furniture, drapes, floors, and walls are earth tones, and this rug makes the room pop! The cream in the rug ties in with the existing colors, and then there is the beautiful blue geometric pattern. I would call it midnight blue or ink blue, definitely not a boring navy. I was waiting for artwork or a rug that I loved to decide the accent color for the room for me, and this added not only fantastic color and pattern, but also so much style. It sets the tone for the room and makes me smile whenever I am in there. We have the rug with a walnut table and chairs with clean lines (very similar to CB2's blox mango dining table, just bigger), and a modern light fixture. I am so pleased with how the room has come together. There is not stain protection on this rug, and it is not suggested to use those products on wool, so keep this in mind if you have pets or young kids (we have 2 cats, a boxer, and 3 and 5 year old boys). I have had to clean up a hairball or two (gross, sorry!) and happily it came right out with a white rag and cold water (dab, don't rub!). Not a super practical rug (because of the delicate color and natural wool) for my house at this time, but I absolutely love it and am so thrilled with my purchase! The rug is unique and beautiful, modern and timeless at the same time. I am sure it will receive many compliments in gatherings to come. Get it, you won't regret it!

WHAT A RUG!
I PURCHASED THIS FOR MY COLLEGE GRAD DAUGHTER FOR HER FIRST APARTMENT ON HER OWN. SHE WANTED SOMETHING GLAMOROUS BUT A BIT ETHNIC AND THIS FITS THE BILL. THE COLOR IS A GORGEOUS LONDON BLUE, NOT NAVY! SHE MADE AN EXCELLENT CHOICE!
