Color is no where near the pictured color
Color is so off it’s insane! I’m so disappointed the rug is great quality and I loved it and was so excited for it to get here but the color is so different I’m returning it! Sad I have been looking for the right rug forever. See pics

Hello MarB, thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the inconvenience as color is a core component for any rug. We strive to produce high quality rugs while accurately displaying color. However, due to color being subjective and color variance, there may be discrepancies which is why we recommend you ordering the smallest size rug and returning it after viewing at hand. For more information on dye lot or if you have any inquiries, feel free to contact us at https://safavieh.com/contact. Safavieh
    Beautiful Rug!
    This truly is a beautiful rug and worth the value! The cost of this rug is half of what you would buy elsewhere, twice the size, and the quality is twice as good. I will be purchasing more for other rooms!

      not worth the purchase
      Not even a month old and this area rug is awful. It keeps shedding fibers leaving a mess everywhere. We tried vacuuming this rug many times but fibers keep coming out. You get a pile of fibers just by dragging your foot across the rug, as you can see in the pictures. Dont purchase this item unless you keep a rake nearby or like vacuuming every day. Not worth $350, wouldnt have paid $35 if I had known.

        Beautiful but flawed
        the rug was thick and colors were beautiful. But there were three places where there was no wool. Just the backing. And I am having a terrible time getting Home Depot to pick it back up. Their phone recording is horrendous as well.

          Pros: Nice colors that are neutral, semi-soft and cushy. Cons: Tons of lint came off the first few times it was vacuumed and clogged up the roomba. It continues to shed after a few weeks and doesn’t look as nice as it did originally, but nice enough for the price for me to keep it.

          I love this carpet and highly recommend it. The design is exactly what I wanted. The colors are perfect. Subtle, warm, neutrals that match everything. The pile is high so comfortable. The only reason I did not give five stars is due to the shedding. I have bought this carpet before in a different size, so I know after some vacuuming, it will stop shedding, but in the beginning it leaves a lot of fuzzies floating around the room.

          I ordered a couple of rugs for our kitchen from H.D. Because when ordering on line it is difficult to see true colors and design. I am so pleased with this rug. The colors are subtle, but just enough color. It is sturdy and lays flat. I also ordered a shag rug for our family room that I love. Good quality and reasonably priced.

          Great rug
          This Safavieh rug is beautiful! It sheds a bit, but most wool rugs do in the beginning. The only issue I have is the photo online and the video colors. (Seems everyone uses the same photos and video, I guess from Safavieh.) My own impression was the rug had a completely tonal background, brown/beige, as the name indicates. I didn't realize the border was a light gray/blue. Fortunately, it works for us and it's a keeper. Bonus! We got it on sale! Plus, it was delivered to the store 4 days sooner than expected!

            This is truly a beautiful rug. Yes, it does shed and yes it can be a pain to vacuum so often , but it is worth it!

            Hello and thank you for choosing Safavieh. We are glad to hear you love this rug. As per the shedding, it is unfortunate that wool rugs look beautiful but shed a lot. We recommend vacuuming around once every 1-2 week as over vacuuming can increase shedding. If you aren't noticing any problems, then best to continuing doing what you have. Thank you again for your feedback. Safavieh

            The rug color was a little bit more muted than in the picture. It’s a really nice, thick rug. I was very pleased with it and would recommend this one. Home Depot delivery was great, the rug came very well wrapped and protected.

            Great colors. Works great with my furniture. So far the wool is shedding quite a bit. I filled 3 Dyson DC40 canisters from the carpet. It seems come out most on the inner circles corner decorations. You can easily rub your shoes or slippers over these decorations and get handfuls of wool from each of them. It does not look worn though. I’ll wait and see.

            Nice rug but it was list on the web as 7’8”. But it is actually 8’ . Double check your labeling.

            Very good quality: thick, lays flat, doesn't slip. Colors are good for me. It does tend to shed some but hopefully that's because it is new.

            Keeps on giving
            No matter how many times you vacuum, this rug keeps shedding. We have had it for months & still have to empty the vacuum cleaner canister several times when we vacuum. And fibers go floating across the room in between vacuums.

            Hello, all wool rugs, especially new wool rugs, may shed. The Antiquity Collection is made of 100% wool and will shed. To reduce excessive shedding, vacuum your rug 1-2 times per week in the direction of the pile. Shedding should diminish within several weeks. Please review our guide on shedding - https://safavieh.com/rug-care-and-cleaning. Safavieh

                  The rug looked like the close-up of the picture online and nothing like the other pictures. It was shipped folded instead of rolled. I returned the rug because the color did not work in my space.
