I purchased the small version of this rug for a home office. It has been in place for about 1 month now and looks great. It doesn't see a ton of foot traffic but it definitely gets walked over at some point during each day. So far I haven't noticed any issues with "fur" falling out and the edges have all laid flat and stayed flat. The faux fur has a realistic look and feel. It isn't soft like those fluffy bath mats, but it is pretty accurate to a short hair animal hide. I would definitely recommend this product.
