Buyer beware if you have pets!  The tufted (looped) part of this rug design leads to snags and the rug sheds excessively.  This led to my pets pulling at the loops and using as a chew toy, destroying it after just 1 month.  I purchased the Allstate protection plan thinking that would cover damage, but there is an exclusionary clause for pets.  While the design is very pretty, it's completely unpractical and I feel the top reviews must have been from customers who only rated based on the aesthetics and not practicality.
