Ok, I've had this rug for quite sometime now.  I was hoping the shedding would eventually stop or at least die down some.  My last review was in October and here we are the end of January and there is no end in site.  I have to vacuum the rug and surrounding area at least 2-3x's per week.  The tiny fibers are everywhere and accumulate quickly in corners and into dust bunnies.  I love the look of this rug but it is too high maintenance for a high traffic room.  If you are looking for a low maintenance rug, this is not the rug for you.  I'm giving this 3 stars soley on the shedding issue.  The color and design are both beautiful.
