Really wanted to love this rug. It looks fantastic and feels great under your feet. Unfortunately the shedding was very heavy, every day we were seeing huge clumps of shedded material around our floors and because we have darker hardwood it just looks like there is hair everywhere. We had to return it for this reason. I understand that machine made rugs like this are cheaper, but come with the downside that the shedding is very heavy. Cannot recommend.
