After a day or two the carpet began to shed little fibers all over my floor, I have vacuumed it a few times to try to prevent so many fibers from coming up and that has worked a little. Some of the brown and yellow burst pieces have come off too. It is not very soft. I put it in my living room and it is very uncomfortable to sit on. I loved the look of it and would recommend it for a space that is not used very often, as a decorative rug, but not for a living space. 

Pros: Pretty
Cons: Sheds fibers everywhere, not soft, uncomfortable
