This rug is beautiful but sheds SO MUCH. We bought this for our living room to sit and play with our toddler on as a comfy, adult alternative to our playmat. We will be moving this rug to another room as we just can't handle how much it sheds on our clothing (and is prickly to sit on). Rating a 3 star because it is lovely to look at but not a winner if you plan on sitting on the rug at all.
