I really love this rug! It's beautiful, thick and soft. The corners will definitely not curl up! The vacuum sucked up quite a bit of fuzzies but the rug doesn't shed otherwise. My biggest complaint is that the color reads very green and has yellow undertones. If I saw it in a store, I probably wouldn't have purchased it because of the color. But it's too much of a hassle to pack it up and send it back. So, I would suggest buying the rug first, and planning your other fabrics around it!
