We purchased this rug in July 2022 and it is now December 2022 and it has not lived up to the quality of rugs compared to other brands I own. It’s in a very low trafficked guest bedroom that is rarely used and it looks as if it went through years of wear and tear. The shedding and pulled fibers throughout the rug was a problem since I first received it. I do understand that the shedding is normal with this rug but it’s just not worth the hassle compared to a non shedding rug. I would look into a different brand rug before paying the almost 500 for a 8x10 rug.
