Alliyah Handmade Bluish-Grey New Zealand Blend Wool Rug (8' x 10')

I am very glad that I purchased this rug! The thickness of the rug is great and it fits very well in our living room space. I like how the pattern is larger because it makes our space look much larger as well. I had read reviews before purchasing indicating that the rug does shed. I agree that it does shed but I ensure that I vaccuum it regularly and the shedding has significantly dissipated over time that now we really don't have any problem with shedding. I would highly recommend this rug - good quality and very esthetically pleasing.

Rug buying to me, a 30-year old single male, is extremely frustrating. I normally get rugs from large hardware stores because they are accessible and reasonably priced. This time I was looking for something specific and found it on Overstock. The price was good and the delivery was excellent (UPS walked it up three flights of stairs to drop it off). I was unprepared for the shedding, though. I read the reviews carefully, and I only spotted a couple nonchalant mentions of the shedding so didn't think it was a big deal. The rug looks great and makes my apartment living room very homely, but I am vacuuming every other day (for 4+ months now and fibers still get all over clothes, bunch up in the corners, the rug sheds like a Collie! I guess now i understand why people spend $**** on these things.

DO NOT BUY THIS CARPET, it sheds like crazy. I read all the reviews before buying it and most of them said that it didn't shed that badly and that by a few vacuums it was done, however mine sheds terribly. I have had it out for two months now and have vacuumed it every day, sometimes twice a day and it's still shedding and filling up the vacuum. I have it over dark hardwoods and it's all over the hardwoods too. I have to dust my floors twice a day as well and the swifter is full every time. Sometimes i even have to use two swifter pads just for one cleaning. It's awful. It takes up half my day. I have a 7 month old baby, which is why i bought it in the first place, i wanted to have a carpet that i could see the dirt on and that she could crawl around on. But i can't even let her crawl on it. The fibers get into her eyes and all over her hands, not to mention all over our clothes (i would not recommend wearing black around this carpet.) We have to put a blanket down to cover up the carpet to let her crawl around, which defeats the purpose of having a nice carpet. I would never recommend anyone buy this carpet. Also, the fibers/yarn that it's made of easily come out. You can just pull them with your fingers. Not a good quality carpet at all, especially for the price. Furthermore, there are different colored fibers in the carpet as well. In some of the cream colored design i have black, yes black, fibers which ruins the design. If i hadn't opened it up and tested it out i would have returned it, but it's too late for me now. So I'm stuck with this carpet i hate, but it's not too late for you. :-)

I really love this rug and it's one of my favorite pieces in my living room. As other posters have commented it really goes shed. We've had it for over a year now and we still deal with the shedding when we have a lot of traffic on the rug.
