Love this rug!  The value (wool) for the low price could not be touched by any other store!  It took approximately 1 year for this rug not to shed like crazy, which is why I'm giving only 4 stars instead of 5.  I have now had it for just over 2 years with 2 active dogs and a cat in the house.  It has held up to weekly vacuuming and spot cleaning with an enzyme cleaner.  It is just beginning to look a bit crushed with all of the use, but I am confident that a professional cleaning will bring it back to life...I have just been too lazy to bring it in to be cleaned.
