I have been looking for a cozy shag rug to add over my hardwood floors in my bedroom. When it arrived I laid it out over my carpet in the living room to flatten out and vacuum. Surprisingly there was no lint or fuzzies at all! My kids were obsessed with it in the living room and were so upset when I told them it wasn't staying there. Considering ordering a second rug or something similar for the living room now! I did put a thicker rug pad underneath for extra comfort. This rug is worth every penny! Exceptional quality at a great price!
