ordered this several months ago to use in my new home that we just moved into a couple of weeks ago.  took out of the packaging and there was a huge black spot on it.  i put it in the wash (following all care instructions) and nearly all the poms have come off or are destroyed and pink pieces of yarn are everywhere.  now my brand new rug that i was so excited about is unusable and looks awful.  do not waste your money unless you just don’t ever plan on washing it. so sad.
