This is a beautiful carpet. but lacks the quality I expected.  I gave it a 3 star rating because you have to wear shoes to walk on it!  A number of places on the carpet have something very sharp which is very painful to step on with your barefeet.  My husband and I got on our knees and searched down into the carpet to find these painful objects which appear to be dried glue that is hard and sharp. We do not want to try to remove any of these as the carpet pieces will probably come up too.  I will  have to tell my guests to keep their shoes on. Also, I get a vacuum full of tiny fibers everytime I vacuum.
