This is a lovely rug.  But it sheds terribly.  It is also as rough as a bristle brush.  It feels like a jute doormat.  But it’s color is vibrant and for me it makes a good studio rug as it hides dirt and drips.  I would not recommend for a room one sits on the floor.  Too rough and sheddy.. my vacuum literally fills up with tiny rug particles whenever I vacuum it.  I worry it will be bald soon!  I do not have a strong or powerful vacuum at all.
