I read the reviews and I read that this rug sheds. Honestly every rug I've ever bought says it sheds and it's really never that bad. This rug however, is shedding like crazy! It's everywhere. I'm vacuuming 3-4 times a day and the vacuum fills up every time and takes several minutes to clean all the fibers out. It is everywhere. It's in every room of the house. I have never ever seen anything like it. I would avoid this rug if you can. While it looks nice, it's just not worth the hassle! I have a toddler and another on the way and this isn't a rug we could ever sit on and play. We would be covered in rug hairs. All in all, pretty gross and very disappointing.
