Some people have said that this rug sheds a huge amount; however, mine didn't do that.  It had a normal amount of new-carpet fluff on it, and that was eliminated within the first two vacuumings.  I have not found it necessary to vacuum this rug more than normal, which is about once every week or two.

The rug has a nice deep pile, so it feels wonderful under bare feet.  Mine is in the kitchen, and keeps me comfortable and off the hard floor while I am cooking.  The colors are not very bright, but are pleasant and attractive.  Visitors have said they loved this rug.  So do I!
