While i will say this rug is beautiful at first, the cream color quickly sheds and you can't stop it. I purchased a sweater fuzz thing but the cream keeps unravels and gets everywhere. The black not so much. Having to box up and take back today because it looks awful after just two weeks. I hate to say this but the last 3 rugs I got were just awful quality wise and I am very surprised. I replace rugs each year to give the home a new look but this year has been awful. Two rugs I found at Home Decorators were fine but this one not so. Sad because I love HD.
