I was really excited to get this rug for my baby's nursery. The colors were perfect and the rug is very thick. I added a rug pad for extra padding. However, as some of the other reviews have stated this rug sheds. A LOT! I couldn't figure out why after vacuuming it, the rug would still leave fibers that seemed to stick to everything.  I vacuumed the rug 3 times in a row and the container filled every time. This is very frustrating considering I will have a little one playing on the floor pretty soon. I did discover that the roller on my vacuum was too strong and actually pulling up fibers. Once I turned this off my vacuum didn't fill to the brim with fibers any more, however there are still visible loose fibers left over sitting on top of the rug. This frustration is leading me to actually want to replace the rug even though I've only had it for 1 month.
