I really love this rug.  I was concerned after reading some reviews regarding the shedding but ultimately decided to get it because it’s exactly what I was looking for visually.  We have two antique gabbeh that I wanted to move from our higher traffic rooms to low traffic spots upstairs- and was looking for a less expensive gabbeh-esque and these are great options.  I made sure to vacuum thoroughly as soon as it was down and I vacuum every couple days anyways - haven’t had any problems with excessive shedding at all.  It’s durable and comfortable and a great rug!
