3. Fading: Placing rugs in direct and continuous sunlight will affect color fastness. Rotate your rug to minimize damage caused by natural light.

4. Design & Construction: Due to the handmade nature of the products, minor variations in design and construction (density, thickness, etc.) may be evident.

5. Shading: Due to changes in pile and weave direction shading may occur and is a natural characteristic of carpets and rugs.

6. Shedding: Natural fiber rugs sometimes will initially shed loose fibers; this is a normal process. For more information, refer to care and maintenance.

7. Pilling can occur due to traffic, moving of furniture, vacuuming or other mechanical agitation. For more information, refer to care and maintenance.

8. Pop ups: Due to the type of some weaving, there may be short fibers popping up while the rug settles. This can be trimmed or pushed through. For more information, refer to care and maintenance.
