I love the way the Carly sofa looks and feels BUT it's not for anyone with pets. My little dog sheds and since her hair is so fine they get interwoven in the stitching of the fabric. Strange but true. I literally have to take tweezers and pick her hairs out strand by stand since they cannot be removed with a vacuum cleaner or tape. It's SUCH a bummer and makes me dread having company over since it takes forever. I have the Hilo Flax fabric - perhaps some of the other fabric choices would work better and make this a non-issue. I wish I would have known before I purchased!
