To start with, these rugs are absolutely gorgeous! 10/10 for look and quality. I purchased 2 - one for my dining room and one for my living room.
The 3 stars are because I have had them now for 5 months and the shedding has not stopped, or even slowed down. Per the recommendations, I have rug pads beneath each one, and I'm vacuuming them at least 1-2 times per week with no beater bar. And the vacuum canister has to be emptied after each rug because it is full. And the fibers travel around my house like I have a dog (I do not have any pets). So I am really hopeful that the shedding improves in another month. I waited to write this review, in hopes that the shedding would stop. I'm sharing just so other buyers know that while these rugs are beautiful, the shedding is no joke.
