I’ve waited about a year to submit a review to make sure I could give honest opinion. This rug has been vacuumed well over 100 times and looks exactly the same as the day I got it. Which as a side note, I discovered while looking for this rug that you cannot use a regular vacuum, if any at all with most shag rug. 

On top of that the rug itself is in a child’s room and gets plenty of wear.  I just wouldn’t play legos on it, we’ve lost a lot of them in that rug, ha! 

I have and would recommend to friends.
