This rug is really fantastic but it sheds.  The instructions tell you to shake it out and we have done that a few times but we still find it all over the house.  It really is soft and beautiful though.  We have moved it from the living room (high traffic area) to the dining room and find it isn't a problem but be forewarned it does shed.  If you don't mind shaking it out a lot, it might not be a problem for you.  It does looks super cool and modern.
