We do really love the colors and design and pile of this rug.  It is a perfect addition to the room.   It's a good thing I love it so much because its care requirements are absurd.  I read about "shedding" in other reviews, but what we get every day isn't fuzz-- it's large lozenge-shaped strips and bits that form immediately wherever there is any foot traffic or friction against the rug.  You can't ignore them because they are really ugly.  So you have to pay attention to cleaning this rug at least once a day-- a carpet sweeper will do the job.  It is always great every time  the beautiful design is restored and I remember why I bought this rug.  I hope this effort doesn't have to last forever.
