I was leery about buying this rug. I read the ratings and saw the issues raised about shedding on other sites. But I took a chance and my rug arrived yesterday. Not only is it absolutely GORGEOUS, but I see no sign of shedding, yellow spots, or any evidence of fibers in the air. Granted, I've had my rug a minute, but I did a lot of research on other sites about this item, as well as this one. What I would suggest is that you buy this rug with ALLMODERN and not take chances elsewhere.     The quality is here. All I can say is you'll LOVE IT!
