I never write reviews and I ordered many wonderful things in the past. This rug was the single worst online purchase I made. Other reviews said it shed but I didn't take it seriously because I liked the design and the price. The shedding is horrible, all over the cloths, all over the house and the baby's face, hands and feet. I've had it for a while and keep vacuuming it, hoping it will stop but so far it hasn't (3, 4 months).
