This rug is BEAUTIFUL!!! I love the different colors and textures, and it easily conceals messes from my litttles. But, it SHEDS! Like, everywhere! My husband jokes that he always has a piece of Home with him on his business trips because a piece of this rug is always attached to at least one bit of clothing. Even a year in it was still shedding. The knots also make it not very comfortable to walk barefoot on.
