I love how this rug looks and feels! I read all of the reviews and expected lots of shedding and am hoping that it will eventually stop. I still took one star off because I didn't expect to find the shedding fibers all over the house! This rug is in a low traffic room towards the front of my house and I am finding rug fibers in my kitchen which is located towards the back of my house. I have had the rug for 2 days and already filled and emptied two vacuum canisters. I will continue to vacuum the rug hoping it will speed up the "natural" shedding process. I can't imagine anyone using this rug in a high traffic family room with babies, toddlers, or pets until the shedding stops.
