I love this rug. The first thing I did when I received this rug was to vacuum it. Not a lint was picked up by the vacuum cleaner. It was the most affordable perfect replacement for the badly designed and very expensive Ralph Lauren rug purchased from Bloomingdale’s. The Lauren rug shed so much pile over the two years I have had it that someone could have made several rugs with it.  We couldn’t sit on it without covering ourselves with lint. I couldn’t wait to get rid of it. The biggest costly mistake is now gone and I have this beautiful rug. It was delivered on time. The moment I unpacked and laid it down, it lay flat and I was so happy that I  lay down on it with my black pants on!! Not a lint on my clothes!!
