Love this rug. My husband even mentioned he like it, with is a big deal as he never says anything. Dimensions are as stated. Colors are perfect. The ivory appears as light beige in the light in our house, the black is a true and saturated black, the burgundy highlights are deep and rich and the dark teal has a bit of a forest green cast in certain light. Nice thickness. Vacuumed a few times after receiving and the amount of fuzz has reduced each time. Sorry not able to do photos as I rolled it back up and do not plan to put down for a few months as we have puppies who are chewing the corners of our old rug. I just rolled it out upon receipt to Check it, vacuum it, lay out to flatten. Due to size it came folded over in the package for shipping. Creases came out overnight and then I rerolled without folding to store until needed before out of town company comes in two months

This is a great wool rug at a terrific price! One end had the plastic wrapping missing, but the rug was not affected. The colors are great with my new Waverly Laurel Springs drapes and valances, just what I had been looking for. A couple months later: This rug still sheds an extreme amount! It also sends the shedding all over the living room floor and makes a huge mess! Hoping it stops real soon!

I love this rug! However, the description could be a little more exact. The color I ordered states Red/Gold but the colors are more Deep Red or Brick Red and lean more toward Dark Tan than Gold. It matches perfectly with the other rug I have in my bedroom. My new rug is at the left of the picture. Just wanted you to see how well it matched. The rug is so soft!! It really brightens up the room.

The rug which was delivered was not the rug in the picture I was viewing. I spoke to an agent when ordering and was assured I would be getting the one I wanted. There were two rugs shown. They were very similar, however one had much more detail. The one that came was not that! The design was blown up and little detail remained. I called customer service and spoke to a young lady who was not at all helpful. In fact, she was argumentative and rather rude. It was almost as though she had just been told to tell people they were both the same rug, and that was that!

Was trying to work with light sage upholstery when I fell in love with this rug. Beautiful & dramatic, it proved to be much more vibrant when laid out on my floor vs. on-line and, sadly, I had to return it. Still love it - it just overpowered all of my light wood and furniture. It is a powerful, bold rug - better suited to darker furniture and more dramatic upholstery color/appointments - disappointed I wasn't able to keep it. Ended up going with an entirely different rug with entirely different suite of colors.

Mixed Review

While ordering the rugs (I purchased the same rug in two sizes) was easy when I received them they were very different. One was much lighter color than the other with dark red coloring on one and a brick color on the other. I understand color differences but this was a drastic difference. Each rug is nice and I would have enjoyed either one but together they look like two different rugs. Just buy one rug and the color difference would not be an issue.

I love Safavieh's quality linens and I believed the name would mean a quality rug as well.Since this rug from the Safavieh Jewel Collection fit my need and had a quiet dignified appearance, I thought I had found perfection. I was sadly mistaken. In this case, the Safavieh name is significantly dishonored. The rug seems to be made with horrible "shoddy wool" because it's not only shedding beyond belief but depositing a black "coal-like" dust (my rug's background is black) all around the rug and penetrating the grout lines of the tile floor. Thankfully I put a solid thick pad under it so the tile grout isn't completely compromised. It is as though the Chinese manufacturer stuffed the rug with very short fuzzy fibers and black dust. My family can't walk over it without causing shed and dust to fall out. I vacuumed it most carefully when I received it (filled a vacuum cleaner bag with its detritis) AND have vacuumed it time and time again, some days a half dozen times, yet it continues to deposit dust and balls of shed, shoddy wool. It's really annoying especially since I'll likely have to pay to send this inferior product back. Overstock should feel responsible for buying, offering for sale and shipping this disaster. Needless to state, my confidence in the Big O is terribly shaken and I am returning this catastrophe to Overstock.com.

Isn't this just the most beautiful rug? I ordered a 9.5 x 13.5, so it's a rather large rug. Beautiful rich subtle colors. I would say that the red is more of a brick, and the gold is a darker gold, It has a small amount of sky or baby blue, a salmon color, and a black. And the green is more of a.....maybe a olive green. But it works for me. And the pile is very thick and has a shine or lustre to it. Overstock shipped this rug very quickly. No damages in shipping. No smell. BTW when I was putting down the new rug pad, I noticed that there is a definite smell to the rug pad. So some of the negative reviews noting smell to the rugs, may be the pad and not the rug. This rug is so pretty, if I needed another one, I would buy one just like it! Update to my previous review. Yes, these rugs do shed some at first. And after it seems like an eternity they do quit shedding. But I also have hand knotted wool rugs and they too shed at first. So that's what you get when you buy a rug like this.

Colors/Quality Different Than Earlier Rug

We purchased this same rug 2 1/2years ago from Overstock and loved it. It was thick and heavy and shed minimally when new. The colors were as pictured: Ivory, Black, Gold, with accents of cranberry red and teal blue. It was beautiful and excellent quality. But after 2 1/2 years of heavy foot and dog traffic, it was showing wear. Because we liked it so much, we reordered the same rug last August. But we decided to wait until the holidays to put it down, so we stored it without opening it. This was our mistake, but we assumed it would be the same colors/quality as our previous rug. (The brand, style, and color names are all the same). When we opened it in December, we were so disappointed to see that the colors were very different. There are no cranberry red accents - just a rusty oxblood color. And the teal blue accents are now a steel gray/blue color. Other than the beige background and black border, all of the colors are very brown and drab. And the new rug is much thinner and less plush than the previous rug. It is lighter in weight and moves around even with a rug pad which our previous rug never did.
