I bought this rug for my 5yo daughter's room. The pros: it is beautiful, the color is vivid and saturated, and it is soft to walk on. The cons: it is shedding like crazy (I've vacuumed it again and again, and it just keeps filling the tank), and it SMELLS very plasticky. We've been opening the window and using fans and air purifiers, but every morning, after the door has been shut all night, the room smells again. I've been wondering if I should return it, actually. I wouldn't recommend purchasing it unless for a well-ventilated area.
