This is a beautiful, thick rug. The design is very modern and appealing. The shedding is unbelievable! I had vacuumed this rug before setting furniture on it. It took 8 canisters of Dyson cordless vacuum. You’d think the shedding would stop after that. No  - it continues to shed and it is not even in a highly trafficked area. If you have allergies, this rug is not for you. If you have toddlers, this rug is not for you.
Update: 9 months later. The shedding had somewhat lessened over the last 9 months; however, if you sit or kneel in the rough, you’ll have the threads all over. I love how thick and soft it is, but I could do without the excessive shedding.
