The rugs is VERY pretty, but it sheds BAD!!!!  It's in a room with is traveled very little and every other day it has to be vacuumed.  I use a Rainbow Vacuum Cleaner and it literally picks up fibers out of the rug as if I had five dogs in the house!!  We don't have animals inside or outside.  I'm sure it will need to be replaced soon.  This is the first time I have ever ordered anything like this on line.  Lesson learned!!  I was very impressed with shipping and handling.  It came super fast!!
