I bought this rug at the same time as another Andover Mills rug. This Antiquities rug is of far poorer quality and I am not happy with it. The only thing I like about it is the color, which looks good in my living room. However, this rug sheds like crazy as others have noted - I have filled my vacuum with wool fibers at least six times and the shedding is not slowing down. I am also allergic to the rug. When my one-year-old daughter plays on it she ends up covered in carpet fuzz. My other complaint about the rug is that the glue backing is very stiff and feels like it wont hold up over time. There are hard spots of glue throughout the rug that are uncomfortable to walk on. If you are considering this rug, dont waste your
