I really loved how this rug looked and it was very soft, but unfortunately the rug shed significantly, and wasn't showing any signs of slowing down. Every time I vacuumed (for months and months) the whole canister filled up with rug fibers and had to be emptied. Also, we ended up with rug-fiber dust bunnies in the corners of the room. I started to wonder when there wouldn't be any rug left. We ended up replacing with a different rug.
