I do love this rug and I'm going to keep it, but it sheds like crazy. We've had it for almost three months. The shedding has slowed, but I'm worried it may never stop. One thing that doesn't help is that we have two very playful cats and between them wrestling and sometimes scratching at the carpet, it definitely makes the shedding worse. I comb the rug to lift the shedded fibers off and that helps, but it's a pain. If you don't have pets and you're planning to put it in a low traffic area, it'll probably be great! The design and color are very pretty!
