This rug is very beautiful but sheds little carpet fibers like crazy! I thought it would improve over time, it's been 9 months, and it is still awful. I have dark hardwoods throughout my new home and have to vacuum carpet dust bunnies and fibers off my floor almost EVERY DAY! If it wasn't so pretty I'd throw it in the trash! With all the shedding, its not as beautiful as it was but it works for now.
