This rug continually sheds, even after nearly a year. The shedding consists of tiny fibers- on the floor, in the air, but it's constant. Also these are very short curved fibers- I'm assuming this is the wool/fleece? What I learned is that the method of creating this rug is pressing/pulling fibers through a warp and weft grid- it's not weaving with yarn - more like there's a grid and mats of wool and cotton are pulled through the grid and knotted somehow? But it sheds like crazy and I can only hope we're not breathing in this stuff. I mean it sheds as much as it did when I first put it on the floor, and with most decent rugs the shedding is quite reduced after some time, and definitely after a year. It's attractive and dense, but cheaply made. Very cheaply made. Martha Stewart can do better. Should do better. Hopefully, this rug is not a health hazard.

Rug is very pretty, but I wouldnt recommend this product if you have cats, as the rug unravels easily with cat claws.

Beautiful rug. Coordinates great with my drapes in my dining room. Very elegant looking. Very pleased.
