The rug is beautiful and has the exact look I wanted. And it is so soft under foot. My large dog loves it almost more than her expensive orthopedic bed. But what neither of us love is the non-stop shedding. This rug is simply horrible. I have to vacuum all of my floors, not just the rug, every 3 days. And the vacuum become so clogged with rug fibers that I have to empty it both BEFORE and after vacuuming. I wanted to love it, but it is a hassle.
