This was my first time purchasing from Birch Lane. Initially I was thrilled with this rug. The colors are beautiful, and its thick and soft. We planned to use it in our living room as a functional showpiece.  It has been vacuumed weekly, but it sheds fibers absolutely everywhere. The kids can't sit on it because the fibers get all over their clothes. My house is now littered with sizable fiber dust bunnies. After 6 weeks I just can't take it anymore. I expected much better quality-especially for the price.
