First of all the rug looks awesome and I loved it when I opened it. Then the shedding began. This is the worst I have ever seen a rug shed. It is so bad it has clogged my entire vacuum tank 3 x since just before Christmas. I feel like we are all having allergy problems with all the fuzz and lint balls all over my home and our clothes from this rug.super disappointing as I had saved for this for quite some time.
