We were delighted when we put this rug on the floor of our mid century style living room. It was just the look that we wanted. Unfortunately, we very quickly noticed that random "puffs" were sticking up out of the rug. The puffs looked almost like clumps of pet hair. We tried hand picking them off but more would appear. We decided to let it settle for a couple of days before we vacuumed it. It didn't help. We vacuumed it three days in a row and it never got better, in fact we started wondering if the whole rug was going to disintegrate! Such a shame, the look would have been great in the room.
