Area Rugs

I wanted a neutral/solid-color area rug in my great room to replace an area rug that has a very bold, modern design. The image at the website gave me the impression that this rug had a tweed look to it. That impression was wrong. The fibers are one uniform color throughout. The variation shown in the image must be due to lighting when the photo was taken. Anyway, the rug is very thick with a very soft pile. I especially liked that the rug was available in a 6 x 9' format, a size not often available from rug manufacturers. The neutral color allows be to be more bold with pillows and other room accessories that were previously dominated by the bold design of the former rug. The rug arrived by FedEx within a week of my order and was tightly wrapped in two layers of plastic. Since this rug is made of synthetic materials, it will not be as expensive to have cleaned as my former 100% wool rug."..."  Read more

I bought Safavieh wool rugs before, and I like this brand. They are thick and heavy, and the patterns are generally better in real life than on the screen. I bought this rug for the living room (9'6" by 13'6"). I was aware of the fact that it was very subdued and would not stand on its own, and I chose it to fit into the room design with the furniture and walls. When it arrived, I was pleased to find that the colours were not quite as "dirty" as in the pictures, and the pattern is actually quite pleasant and to look at (and distinct enough to see). It did everything I wanted it to, plus it looked nicer than I expected. My partner was not too keen on my choice initially, but upon the arrival, he was very impressed himself. I have got to say, when a guy keeps repeating how pleased he is with the rug looks and feel, I know he is not lying. Quality: in my experience, Safavieh wool rugs shed fiber in the beginning. Be prepared to vacuum and dust often in the first month. After a month, the shedding subsides. I did not mind this, but if you are allergic or sensitive to wool, you may want to go with some other material. My son is somewhat sensitive, but with one quick daily vacuuming, it is quite manageable. In long term, the quality of my other Safavieh rugs proved to be quite good. The only thing I can think of is that when I lift them up to vacuum underneath (which happens maybe 2-3 times a year), there is some white dust on the floor which seems to be coming from the rug. So far, this did not affect the integrity of the rugs in the least. I would buy other Safavieh rugs in the future. I think they are extremely well priced with no impact to the quality. I am sure there are better rugs - but the price tag reflects their quality too. Bonus: this very large rug was packed (not rolled up) compactly enough to fit into my small car. I was very pleased with this thoughtfulness."..."  Read more

I ordered the runner (2.6 x 8) and it is nice and bright, color is pretty close to the computer image - the rug is slightly less "yellow" and more of an "oatmeal" in my opinion. I think it is well made and do not regret my purchase. It's a good rug for the price. It does not have a super soft back on it so I would strongly recommend a couple of things: one, most definitely it needs a nice soft thick rug pad, and two, since it has a stiffer backing, the rug edges lay a LOT flatter to the floor (less of a tripping hazzard) if you simply cut the rug pad to be a good 2 to 3 inches in from the rug border all the way around. I used the "best" 1/4 inch thick rug pad and it is wonderful. I use my rug with the pad on hardwood floors and it is thick and plush feeling to walk on, does not slip, and you cannot "see" the rug pad at all."..."  Read more

Purchased this rug for my living room after shopping MANY rugs for a long time. It is soft to walk on and so far hasn't shed too bad for a wool rug. Many reviewers complain of shedding of wool rugs, but this is just part of owning wool rugs, which make up for it in their quality, beauty and durability. The colors are extremely soft and muted. The designs are not as bold against the background as pictured. It has a washed, faded look, which I love. The brown is a true chocolate, not a cinnamon like my monitor showed (think the color of hot cocoa). My only negative comment about this is that it is advertised as a "Green" rug. There is not one green thread in this rug. The border and accents on the floral design are TEAL BLUE, which is what I was looking for. If you are hoping to achieve a green color scheme this isn't the rug. It is more of a torquoise and brown scheme. It is beautiful in my room and I can't believe the price on Wayfair for a rug of this quality!"..."  Read more
