Wet Musty Rug made me suck

I ordered the 8ft round Abstract ABT349 Hand Tufted area rug made by Safaviah from Target for $257. The rug arrived with visible water droplets, it was wet and smelling of mold. The musty smell permeated through the entire house. I could smell it from rooms away. This product potentially exposed my home to toxic mold spores creating a health risk. I have asthma and began wheezing and got a headache almost immediately after opening the rug. Customer Service wanted me to transport the large rug in my car to the nearest target for a return. Even if the 8ft rug would fit in my car, I did not want to be in a confined space with the musty odor or expose my vehicle to mold spores. After an hour and being hung up on once, I was able to talk the customer service into coming to pick up the rug AND provide the shipping label. I would understand their request for me to transport the rug back to target if I just didn’t like the product. But this rug was damaged and again posing a health risk to myself, my family and my animals. I do not recommend this product or ordering anything to your home from Target that can not be easily transported back to the store for return. The store will not pick it up without a fight.

Sheds terribly

I would not recommend this rug. It’s very pretty but the shedding is intense and it never stops. It said after 3 month it would subside but it has just gotten worse. Our floors are dark brown and because of this rug, look dirty all the time. The shedding is even all over our furniture which is also dark brown. It’s a nightmare.

Never stops shedding

This rug is driving me crazy. They said after 3 months it would stop shedding. It’s been 3 months and it has not stopped. I have dark wood floors and the shedding stands out like a sore thumb. I’m guessing it’s cheap quality material. My floors look like I never sweep. I’m guessing I am past the window to return it so I’m not sure what to do. It looks pretty but not worth the grief! It’s a mess!

The material sheds

This rugs sheds SO MUCH. The shedding is also that very itchy fiber that takes days to get off of your skin. The overall look of matches the photos, and with the other strong reviews I thought it would be a good purchase, but I'm definitely regretting it. It's too difficult to return, so I'll just be out the cost and a lesson learned.

Durable runner

Colors are true to description. Runner looks great in my entryway and the product looks like it will last.

Was expecting better quality for the price. I have a cat that does scratch the carpet, but the rug has come undone incredibly quick. A vacuum over it pulls up tons of the fibers too. Not sure if its the cat, or if the rug is just meh quality

This rug is beautiful! I bought the round one for my dining area and had to get the matching one for my living room since I have an open concept. It got some cushion to it that’s really nice and it’s a light beige/grey color more towards the neutral side

This item is much darker in reality. I ordered the beige / grey and it's quite dark. I'm not happy with the way this rug is shown online and I had to pay $68 to return it to Wayfair (not cool). It's misleading and the responsibility is on the buyer who was misguided on colour. Apart from that, the rug is good quality. I expect it to shed given it's wool.

Stunning rug! Took a star away just for the amount and duration of shedding, but that’s what you get with wool. Came Shipped folded but the crease quickly subsided. Great value for the price!

Not at all happy with this rug. Have vacuumed everyday and has constant balled fibers. Very rough and prickly to sit on. Anyone on the rug gets up filled with rug fibers on their clothing. Especially annoying that my grandson’s clothes are covered in them! I would like to return but will be difficult to roll up, repackage and ship. Any suggestions on how to return would be helpful.

Good quality

This rug is beautiful and exactly what I was expecting. Nice color, texture, and weight. Seems good quality. The only thing I am docking a point for is that when we removed the rug from the packaging and unrolled it, the rug was covered in tiny star shaped glittery confetti and relaxed surprisingly quickly. I am wondering if this was an open box item that was repackaged. If so, I am a little irritated to have paid full price. But not so much that I want to return it.

This rug is money

This rug looks a lot more expensive than what it is. We bought the 10x14, so it came folded like other reviews said, but the photos below show immediately after unfolding, so no issues. No heavy shedding just yet but that's expected with a wool rug. Overally extremely happy with this purchase.

I bought the gray/ivory color of this rug and would describe it as a warm gray or taupe color. Im happy with my purchase: good price, nice quality, no pad needed and cat approved. In these photos it’s been down for one week and most of the wrinkles from shipping are gone. I did use the You Tube trick of laying a damp towel on the rug and using a steam iron on the bad wrinkles - it worked pretty well.

Great rug! Adds interest under the table in our breakfast nook. Hides "oopses" well and is easy to clean. This rug has held up well in a busy spot and would recommend. It's great! Love the colors too-you can pull a lot of colors from this rug.

Got the 6 foot round ivory/navy rug and we are so happy with it! Color was slightly different than the pics, but was better in person in our opinion. Fits perfectly under our queen bed. It does shed a lot, but not visibly so, it's just that when we pass the vacuum over there seems to be a limitless amount of shed! Overall really happy with this purchase.

It looks great in person. Multi-color weave, not just grey or beige. Pretty good quality. Not soft but not uncomfortable. So far has withstood the cat test. Looks semi-durable. But it fits our space nicely, so we are very happy with it. I think it was a good deal overall. Because, man, rugs can get expensive for something that looks halfway nice. Plus it’s not easy to determine what’s going to look right in your space. I got the club O for free and would suggest it in case you need to return it because it allows free returns I guess. There was some special for buying it through the app. Otherwise I think it costs you about $70 for a return. Mine did come with some kind of adhesive that made it stiff in a spot, which was odd, but I got it exchanged immediately and the replacement was at my door before I even sent my original rug back. It all worked out quite nicely. Now I’ve got a sharp looking floor and the room is much more grounded.

Finally found what I was looking for!

These rugs pulled our large room together after we replaced our carpet with LVP. I didn’t want rugs with a definite pattern and was afraid the diamond pattern on this rug would be too pronounced but it really isn’t noticeable except in close up pictures. They do shed a little but do not make near as much mess as the jute rugs I used to have. They also have hard lumps in them in spots as other reviewers have noted, not enough to make me dislike the rugs but I do feel them once in a while. I do not have a pad underneath them and do not feel they need one. I would recommend the rug but would make sure to mention the slight shedding and lumps in case that were a game changer for some

worth the struggle

When I say I fought the good fight for this rug... lol I am no stranger to this site's exorbitant return shipping charges for rugs so when it came to pass that they had the size I needed at a great price (with discount) I decided to first purchase the pink/blue colorway in a smaller size from **** website knowing that I could just walk it into the local storefront for a free return once I confirmed it would work for me. That plan worked perfectly, I now have the 5x8 here for use in my kitchen once it's done, and the design and colors are a perfect offset for the funky backsplash tile I've chosen. Every color is in this rug, but subtly enough that none takes over, and the background with charcoal chevron striping is very versatile. The weaving on this rug seems very durable so I have high hopes that it will survive my antics for many years to come. All's well that ends well!
