This rug is very pretty, but totally impractical. It sheds like crazy. I have giant wads of furballs all over the entire floor in my house. There is hair all over the rest of our furniture, all over our clothes, in every room. It’s ridiculous. We meant for this to be the rug in our living room, but ended up having to sequester it in the office because it is just too much to deal with, even after vacuuming. It not only sheds like crazy, but it was horribly musty smelling. It was hard to even be in the same room as the rug. I’ve kept windows open every day trying to air it out and it still smells. It’s disappointing because it looks great, but I wouldn’t recommend this rug to anyone.
