Obsessed!!
I live in an apartment that has wall to wall carpeting and wanted to replace an existing low pile area rug that just wouldn’t lay flat. I took a chance on this and I am so happy that I did because it is perfect!! Soft, thick area rug that fits exactly where I needed it to. I can’t paint or make any permanent cosmetic changes so this is a beautiful accent that draws attention away from the boring beige that is plaguing my space. Quality, size and price were all on point.

So soft and perfect
Was a little surprised initially when it arrived folded instead of rolled. I was sure that would be an issue but it wasn’t at all. Bought this to replace an ancient pottery barn rug in my living room. Going with shag was a change for me but I am so glad I did. This rug is so soft and the colors are beautiful – subtle enough as a neautral but also adds just enough to add some pizazz to the room. Safavieh is a good brand I’ve had success with in items for home decor without breaking the bank. No feedback on cleaning it as it’s brand new. Highly recommend

Not as cushy as Hudson line
The rug arrived rolled and sealed in plastic so even though it was raining, it stayed completely dry.The new rug smell was very minimal and even slightly pleasant – I am hyper sensitive to scents and get instant headaches or coughing fits but this didn’t do that.The colors are pretty much as expected, the gray might be a little bit darker and there is lighter beige than I expected but it’s a dark, cloudy day so maybe I’ll see the colors a bit better on a brighter day.I rolled it out no problem, the edges were curled up quite a bit and I was afraid they wouldn’t settle. I vacuumed the rug to fluff it up and while doing that, it settled down the edges of the rug so they were almost completely flat by the time I was done. They’re still a little bit curled but I expect it to simmer down over the next week and if not, I do have some rug corner things to help hold them down. Not too worried about it.I bought this rug after spending time at my brother’s house and my sister’s house. My brother bought a rug at Sam s Club that looked similar, not sure what brand, but the largest size was 8×10. My sister’s rug was from Way fair and is from the Safaveigh Hudson Shag collection. Both of those rugs are definitely cushier under foot than this rug. This rig is still a lot cushier than a regular low pile rug, and the fibers are SUPER SOFT, but the problem is that the fibers are actually too soft/thinso they don’t offer much cushion under your feet. My brother’s and sister’s rugs are almost as soft but considerably more cushion. You can lay down comfortably and even wrestle, flinging kids around, on their rugs (with no additional padding) but I can’t sit comfortably on this one not would I ever attempt wrestling with the kids on it.It’s not a bad rug by any means and I think I’ll keep it but I’m bummed that I will have to buy an additional rug pad to go under it. I was hoping it would be like my sister’s Safaveigh rug but it just isn’t. I am slightly regretting not just getting the low pile and super colorful rug I actually wanted since I’ll have to buy a rug ad anyway and I got this one in hopes of avoiding having to get a separate rug pad.It looks nice and is definitely silky soft underfoot so if rug textures or even carpet textures tend to be a problem for you, I recommend this. But if you’re looking for a cushiony pile, this isn’t it.

Gorgeous and Plush Rug
This rug was even better than I’d hoped it would be! I was a bit nervous about it, as we needed something extra plush and soft for our wild kid, and I was skeptical as to whether the pattern would look as nice in person—most rugs tend to photograph better online. Fortunately, the rug delivered on both fronts. It looks incredible in person, and like a much more expensive rug than it is. And it is SO soft. Our toddler has been rolling around on it constantly for the past day. We ordered the 8×10, which was just right for our space and feels much bigger. While it *is* extra plush, if you are looking for lots of cushion, you may still want a pad for underneath. The ends were curled up a bit from being rolled to ship, but I was able to quickly remedy with some heavy items on the corners overnight. Shipping was also very pleasant. Initially I was told it was on back order till August. Then yesterday came up to my door after a walk, and found the giant rug awaiting on my steps. I was pumped! It was well packaged and clean, smell wasn’t overpowering or anything like that.My kid hasn’t spilled any food or weird art supplies on it yet, so I can’t comment on how well it cleans. But rest assured, she will get after it in no time. So I’ll be sure to provide an update once her reign of terror starts.

It cost to send it back at $14 for rug bag. charged me a $6 fee for the return.
The rug is very soft and thick, I didn’t notice any shedding. I did send it back because in person it was just a bit too modern for my home.But a very nice rug!
