Here’s the thing - this rug is beautiful- the colours (green, blue and greyish brown) are muted and neutral and the design is minimalist. It’s soft (similar to a berber rug in the tight, dense weave but not as bumpy or rough) and it’s nice to walkstandsit on even on hardwood floors without an under pad. But OMG the shedding is unreal. I’ve vacuumed it numerous times and it’s still shedding. It gets stuck to your socks and then tracks little wool fibers all around the house (and on dark wood floors it’s VERY noticeable). So while the rug is lovely, the constant vacuuming (like, multiple times a day) is why it’s only 3 stars for me.
