When I first got this rug, I loved it! It is so soft! Perfect for bare feet. The design is gorgeous. It's exactly what I was looking for. However, I have concerns about it's durability and longevity. After a few months in my living room, it's shedding pretty badly. Little bits of the pile stick up above the surface. Since it's screen printed, every bit that comes out removes part of the design causing more white to show.
