Straight out of the packaging, this rug feels like a dream. It is incredibly impressive and all of my friends that saw it when I first got it enjoyed laying on it because of its soft material. The color is gorgeous and perfectly matches the photos online.
However, after having this rug for over a year, the areas that have common foot track are a completely different texture than the original feel. The texture feels rougher and more matted, whereas areas that I didn’t walk on very much still feel as smooth and soft as the day that I got it. I have not attempted to wash this rug yet out of fear of the entire rug’s texture degrading in quality.
One of my main issues with this rug is the shedding. Expect to find little hair-like fibers in your own hair, on your face, in your eyelashes, all over your clothes, just everywhere. I guess that some of these complaints are to be expected with a rug made of longer fibers.
Picture one is the original texture of the rug. Picture two is the matted quality of the rug. Picture three shows the fibers that come off of the rug and get all over everything.
