I love the look and feel of this carpet but it has one drawback, tons of lint. I use this carpet in a bonus room where kids play video games, watch tv, and play with toys on the floor. It is gorgeous in the room. I love navy and white stripes and the colors are bright which adds to the coastal feel I like so much. However, the carpet fibers seem to shed lint as well as collect lint balls from other fibers too (ie. socks, clothes, the underlying carpet, etc). I love the look but wish I didn't need to vacuum so often!
