I purchased this rug 3 years ago in a 10 x 14. It is in a sunny room. The color has completely faded and it continues to fuzz like crazy. I own several cats paws rugs and have never had an issue with fading or continuous fuzz. I have the 10 x 14 and 3, 3 x 5's so I'm pretty much stuck with my choice. I would not recommend this beautiful rug unless your room is sunless and you really like to vacuum.
