I am in love with this rug and I would buy it again in a heartbeat! It's unique and extremely stylish, and it just as beautiful in person as it is in the photos. Like the other reviews mention, it does shed, but I don't find it to be an insane amount. I vacuum the rug 1-2 x a week to accommodate this. My rug did have a few spots where it seemed the black dye had run, but it was easily removed with a spritz of stain remover.
