3 stars, because  (I bought 2 of these) every time I vacuum, I fill a bucket of the vacuum cleaner with the carpet fibers. Each time, and it doesn’t seem to ease up. At first, I thought it helped make the rugs softer (initially scratchyitchy)  assumed the fibers would eventually slow down. It hasn’t. This photo (the vacuum bucket) doesn’t do justice. I literally FILL it, each time. In minutes. I’ve vacuumed in total over 2 hours. Still coming up. I have a dog, so vacuuming frequently is important. Further - now large threads appear to be coming loose with each vacuum. I am not pulling these out, lest the rugs become threadbare or patchy. My Roomba vacuum also fills with each run across the carpet. Rugs are beautiful but the way they are playing out in terms of carecleaningwearing - worries me. The quality initially APPEARS to be there, but living with these rugs long-term is definitely a qualitylongevity concern!
