I was going to give this area rug a 3-star rating due to an issue – but I’ve now down-graded it to 2-stars and expect to down-grade it further.  I’ve had this area rug on the floor less than 2 weeks and must vacuum it daily due to what I call “fur balls.”  To keep this review in perspective, I’m a 79-year-old male living alone – so there’s really very little “action” on the rug, just walking across it leaves a trail of “fur balls.”  I was going to give the rug the benefit of doubt and hoped the “fur balls” were just because it is new and a few days of daily vacuuming would solve the problem.  Not only did that not solve the problem, I am now finding “shags” (e.g., loose ends) in the rug.  Candidly, the way this rug is coming apart, I expect to bring back my 6-year-old rug and replace the new one in a few months.
