I live this rug. Yes, occasionally a piece of fabric comes loose and I just tuck it back into the weave. I read the reviews in advance so I k ew this could be an issue but for the price I was ok with it. I just shake it out really well outside and do not vaccum it. Ive really had no issues and Ive had it a few months now. Its super cute, love the colours in the magenta. I would order the large size for my living room even.
