This rug highly disappoints us. It sheds small fibers - they pile up and fill the vacuum with each cleaning, and the fibers are all over the house; we're questioning if the fibers are toxic to breathe. Upon some research, in regards to polyester rugs, there are long fiber rugs, and short fiber rugs. The short fiber type are cheaper to make. The pattern range is more varied, but dealing with these short fibers all over the house means we are getting rid of this rug.
