I love the plushness of this rug, the muted colors are so complimentary for almost any design style and it's truly beautiful. However, like many of the comments state it NEVER EVER stops shedding. I've had it for over a year now... and it still sheds. I already have to clean up after my dogs hair so it's a little annoying to add another dog to the home with this rug! Also, it stains SUPER easily with any type of spot cleaner you try to use which is very unfortunate. I love love love the idea and look of it, but for practicality's sake I'm not sure it's worth the money just to have a rug to look at and not step on.
