Bought this rug to put under my round kitchen table. I'm not experiencing the amount of fuzz coming off others have commented on, but I bough a gorilla grip pad to go underneath and it's not a bit traffic area in our house. Adds the perfect touch brightness in our kitchen to go nicely with our white subway tiles. Only complaint is that the "black" stripes are more of a slate/dark grey and the "white" is more cream colored
