I absolutely HATED this rug. Unfortunately it’s too late to return it. This rug is a much deeper/darker red than the photos show, and it sheds little red particles SO MUCH. My cat basically thought the material was a scratching pad also. There were little red tumbleweeds that appeared everywhere in my apartment. Dust particles of red EVERYWHERE. I’m not even exaggerating, everyone in my life now knows about my hatred and struggle with my red rug. I finally took it out of my bedroom and into the garage yesterday. The hunt for a new rug begins and a total waste of $400 here.
