I tried to love these rugs...I WANTED to love them, so much that I bought 3 for our new home. But it is a daily, if not hourly battle to keep after all of the shedding that these rugs do.  There are little tumbleweeds of jute fibers all over the place, plus, the straw must have mud or something in it because there is also a daily dosing of grayish dirt coming from the rug.  I just can't deal with it anymore.  I tried to return them but have gone past the 30 day return mark.  Although I love the look of these rugs, the mess they produce is just not worth it.

Cons: Severe shedding...unless you have a dirt floor, these rugs are simply a nuisance.
