This rug sheds horribly! I am constantly cleaning up tiny fibers that make dust balls all over my living room. We can't sit on the rug because it makes our noses itch so bad with all the fibers coming off of it. It does look like the picture, but I'm not sure I can keep this rug in my living room. I've vacuumed it, shook it out, and tried sweeping several times. The shedding never stops!
