Customer Reviews for Home Decorators Collection Sonnet Brown 8 ft. x 10 ft. Area Rug

The rug is thicker and more plush than i expected. Very happy with the way it looks and the quality of it.

This rug looks good in person. In fact, it looks more expensive, making it a good price to value offering.

Beautiful rug and great price!!

Beautiful product!

Adorable!!! I really like it.

Rug was amazing. The quality is great along w/ the design. Very happy w/ my purchase.

My favorite color is orange. Not many things in Orange or accented with orange will disappoint me. However, that is no more. The backdrop for this rug is MUCH darker than picture. I can only believe this is the end run and they had to change the color. Very disappointed and probably will cost more to return it then to keep it. Buyer beware.

Overall, I am happy with this runner. The only surprise was how narrow it is, compared to standard runners. The description was clear, I just did not note that this was really a 24" runner (standard is slightly wider at 28"). That said, it is a nice quality, a good 1/2 inch thick and sturdy. The texture is not "soft," it is more of a durable cotton weave. When you add in the pad (see my other review), this rug feels very good under foot. I expect this will hold up well. The colors are pictured accurately (I have submitted a picture as well).

I bought this rug in Turquoise for my master bedroom, was so excited to get it! The other poster who also bought this in Turquoise said the lettering is a vanilla color ( has a lot of yellow in it), not white, and I agree. It makes a difference in the rug's appeal; the words do not stand out as they do in the photos. While I adore the turquoise color & the French poem, this rug is a nightmare to clean, I think perhaps because it is so thick ? Just hosing it off absolutely does not do the trick as it does for my other indoor-outdoor rugs. It takes FOREVER to dry, like at least two days or more and you can only wash it in hot/sunny weather ( spot clean if needed & vacuum in inclement weather), otherwise it'd likely rot from the all moisture it hangs onto. It is in a very low traffic area so it's not that it's getting high traffic dirt/use. Perhaps I got a factory defect rug, not sure, but I'm terribly disappointed in the rug that I wanted to set off my lovely turquoise bedroom. I would NOT buy another one of these, although I suspect the black & white color offered may fare better over time than this one has. Just my experience, honestly offered. Cheers~

Looks great in my dinning room. Love the colors. I have had my eye on this carpet for years! I have dogs and have to keep a close eye on pulls. Easy to snip off if necessary. I did order a matching runner, unfortunately they did not match in color or font size of the letters. There are also a few small manufacturing issues. Despite that, I still love the rug.

Good quality ugly color. Guess that's why orange was discounted.

I love this rug. I have always loved the fable (in French verse), and it delights me to see it so often.

I bought this rug for an entry way. It is a lovely design and looks great. No shedding has occurred and it is a beautiful enhancement to our home. And our Maltese approves!

Nice size and appearance of throw rug to add some class to my kitchen.

I bought this rug in denim 3.5x5.6. It's a beautiful rug. It's a good quality, thick rug. The sonnets adorable. My boys like to trace it all the time! My only complaint is online the denim looked dark like a navy which is what I wanted. The color in person is much lighter

I had a vision for the great room in my little "cottage" that I have been renovating for the past year. When I saw this rug in the recent catalog, I was so excited! The minute I saw it I was sure it was the one I had been hunting for. Once it arrived and we placed it in the room it was even better than I envisioned. So happy!!

After reading a few past reviews of this rug, I was slightly hesitant to purchase one. So glad I did, it is elegant, soft, and perfect for the room. I also angled it which adds some flair. For the price, I could not be happier. Whoever commented that this was of "poor quality" must be summering at Balmoral Castle. Another perk is that my German Shepherd matches the color scheme and he loves the feel also!

I bought this rug for my daughters apartment. It s exactly the look she needed to pull together everything I her room. It is SO pretty and eye catching!! LOVE LOVE it!!

Beautiful looking rug-great quality-however-words are not white rather cream so the rug almost looks dirty-I am sure the taupe with black letters does not have that problem but the turquoise rug is beautiful but lettering is not white.

Rug looks great in the room. I ordered the blue and it looks as depicted on line. Nice rug for the price.

I've had this rug in my high traffic family room for 6 months and it does not hold up. The surface fibers pull up giving rug a fuzzy, faded surface. Vacuuming does not help because the fibers will not release from the rest of the rug. Also I purchased the beige/brown color and it is not as pictured. The beige background is not solid but more like a tweed and it gives the rug a very cheap appearance. I am so disappointed because I was really excited about this rug for my newly renovated room.

I love the rug. I purchased the "orange" and on the website it looked more rust but I wanted it orange so I took a chance and it is a darker orange......very eye catching and I get lots of compliments on it.

I wanted a rug to brighten the look and feel of the room but not spend a lot of money. This rug achieved both. The color was a bit brighter than shown but I was prepared for that and felt I had wiggle room on the exact color.

I have this rug in my home entryway to anchor a credenza...its a high traffic area, so hopefully it will stand up well to the dirt/wear it will see. It looks really nice - very satisfied with it aesthetically. There does seem to be a few spots with little pulls or tufts (not noticeable unless you look very closely)...not sure if this is just how its made or defects. Either way, not worth changing it over. Overall, for the price and size, I am happy with it.

This rug is thick, warm, colorful and classy.. Just the touch of color my gray, beige and "script" den needed. A few turquoise bins and pillows and it looks lovely....underfoot and above!

Very pleased with this rug, other than the color. I ordered the blue and it is much lighter in person than it appears on line. So beware of that when buying. Otherwise, gorgeous rug and great value.

I bought the 8x10 rug this last month for our covered outdoor patio. When I received it, I rolled it out in the garage to flatten and air it out (from the plastic wrap) over night. I instantly fell in love with it. It's a nice plush rug and looks more suited for indoors, so we decided to place under our dark wood dining table. I ordered the neutral/brown color which goes with everything. My husband loves it! We've had for less than a month so not sure how to rate the durability yet it seems to be very well made, nice edges and plush feeling under the feet. Love it!

I ordered the 3X5 in the black option. The rug looks just like the picture and my little French bulldog approves. It is soft on your bare feet and plush. If you are considering this rug, definitely go for it. It's a great deal and a fun addition to any room.

While I like the overall look of the rug, I wish the ends were finished with more care. It looks like the rug was cut (it was) as a remnant and made into a runner. The ends show some seems, but at least the rug has a finished edge. Overall, for the money, and compared to similar product on Ballard Design (finer detailing?) for more $, I am happy with the product.
