While this rug looks very nice, if you have forced air particularly you will be dusting 10 times a day. It cannot be vacuumed because of the nature of the pile, and it sheds dust and fuzz balls continuously. I hang it over the railing to see if it would stop shedding and it would not. My back porch was full of puff balls, and my living room when I removed the rug from the plastic let out a bunch of dust and fuzz that I'm still cleaning and only had it on the floor for about 20 minutes to see if it would work. Like I said, it looks good, but I'm afraid it will not last because you can see the backing (grey) through the pile, can't vacuum it, and will cause my apartment to be dusty all the time, which is not what I want or need. I want a clean look, not to be cleaning all the time. I would not recommend this rug to anyone who does not dust a few times a day, and no forced air furnace that blows the dust from this rug throughout the whole place. I'm very disappointed because I thought it would be perfect for my decor. Not willing to be worried about dust, fuzz and it wearing out to fast from the upkeep.
