I had high hopes for this rug because of the great reviews but buyer beware this thing pulls easily and sheds like crazy. I don't have any animals but you would think we had a large dog based on all the threads that look like fur all over my living room. It's also impossible to sit on (I have two young children) if you don't wan't to walk away looking like you just wrestled with Fido. Not only that, we've only had the rug four months and it's already misshapen and has pulls everywhere.
