The piling was flat and unsightly. The colors were dull gray and white, not ivory/silver. Repeated vacuuming did not restore the pile or the lumps from shipping. Not acceptable.

Looks great but it sheds SO much. I thought maybe it would be temporary, but it’s been over 6 months and still shedding strong. Anytime you walk on it, your socks are covered in fibers which then get deposited around the house. Unfortunately, I’ve begun shopping for a replacement.

ok. not great ...

We've had a few Safavieh rugs over the years - not super premium, but decent enough. This rug was a bit of a disappointment considering the material/cost. The feel is very "thin" -- like the fur on a mangy, skinny wire terrier that's starting to lose its fur -- and doesn't fluff up regardless of the vacuuming ... so it looks a bit nappy all the time. The wool seems like the "recycled wool" you find in some products - basically scraps and bits that look a bit scraggly... again: the skinny mangy terrier thing. It's been on the floor now for a minute, but it looks like it's been there a decade given the spotty flatness and, well, manginess of it. Did I mention mangy? We'll keep it because it kind of has that faded luxury look that you'd find at a has-been starlets home - they used to have nice things, but now they're all wearing out. So it's kind of cool in that way, but if you're looking for new, fluffy luxury pass on this one. Also, like any wool rug, be sure to mist this with a pyrethrin moth spray the second you get it out of the bag or risk never-ending moth infestations. Ask me how I know.
