Starting day one, the rug not only sheds, but even walking on it makes the rug fray and come apart. As beautiful as this rug is, it is a disappointment that it is of such poor quality. I am an avid purchaser of wayfair and this product has to be the worst product I've ever purchased from here. According to other reviews they said the rug is great once it stops shedding, so i waited thinking this would be the case for mine. It is indeed not the case, the rug is completely ruined after light traffic for two months of ownership. I wish that I was still in the window to return this rug.
