We have had this rug for about a year now.  The look of it is amazing.  However, this rug is not one to be walked on.  It is more of a rug to be looked at.  It is a long shag and the fibers get tangled easily.  In order to keep it from getting completely matted and basically garbage, I have to brush the rug every week.  It takes me about half an hour to get out the matted fibers in the areas where we rest out feet.  Another 30 minutes to fluff the rest of the rug.  Everyone loves the look of it but we're ready to roll it up until we move and can put it in a living room no one walks in.  There are only 3 of us.  It's gotten to the point where we lift our feet so that it doesn't mash the fibers when we're sitting in our arms chairs or coach.  Wish it was more durable :(
