Beautiful Area Rug but...

Safavieh is well known for making rugs and the ivory/navy 6'x9' I ordered is lovely, however, there is a mild chemical smell we noticed our first night it was out. Hope it's gone by the morning....

I ordered this rug for my living room to cover stains on my carpet. This was a great choice to use before I have laminate installed next year. It looks nice and stays in place over the carpet.

I love these washable low pile rugs for high traffic areas and our house that is full of DOGS! We can’t have regular rugs they get destroyed so quickly. The washable aspect is a game changer. Love the link design too, it looks rich. Soft on the feet!

Overstock has the best shipment tracking. All you have to do is click on the link in your email. You don't have to log in or search through your orders. What is not so good is that the search filters on the ordering pages are not specific enough. If you click blue for the color of a rug, Overstock will show you pictures of rugs that are not blue because the rug comes in blue, but the picture is of some other color. As for the rug itself, it is fine, but it did not match the others I had purchased a year ago, even though I used the label on the back of the older rugs to do my search.

Great accent rug to my small living room at my one bedroom apartment. I wanted a contrast from my gray hardwood floors, and this definitely did it. I love this rug! Shipping was fast and packaged rolled up and easy to layout. I suggest you turn it over and put something heavy on it to keep flat at least overnight. No funny smell either after you open it. All in all great product!

This rug is beautiful!

Beautiful area rug! Exactly as described! I like the weight, not too heavy and the pile is perfect for under my dining room table. I do have a non slip pad under it. If you have blue and white dinnerware or accent pieces, you will love this carpet because it has light and dark shades of blue! The background is an overall light taupe color. Some people have complained about an off gassing odor upon first opening the packaging, I didn’t detect any odor what so ever.

Warning: Strong outgassing!

This rug has an extremely strong chemical smell. It is so strong and overpowering it makes your eyes water. We tried to air it out by rolling it out in an air-conditioned garage for two days before bringing it inside, but the outgassing is just as strong today as it was when it was first unwrapped. (You know it’s bad when your super-social Goldens won’t go near it, giving up their favorite spot with the family in the living room to go lie down by themselves in the hallway!). Returning a 18x12 ft carpet is not easy so I guess we will all have to watch TV in another part of the house for awhile to protect our health. The rug is soft to the touch, thin but with a rather stiff and heavy backing that makes it stable on the floor without a pad. As for the color: the blue pattern in the rug is as pictured, ranging from light navy to light cobalt blue, but there is more brown in the light gray/ivory background than expected. I would have preferred a lighter, less brown mottled background but am still satisfied with the colors—the reason for the low rating is entirely due to the awful chemical outgassing.

True to pictures, comfortable but a bit thin

We love this rug. Very much as pictured. I’m quite sensitive to wanting whites to be white and this rug is definitely a nice light color. It isn’t white white, it’s more of a very light cream but it satisfies this purist and looks good against white furniture (see coffee table in picture that is very white)! It’s comfortable on your feet, but would suggest a rug pad because it’s relatively thin. Definitely has a strong chemical smell to it when first rolled out as well, but that goes away after a few days.

I am still waiting for the corners to settle and roll down. I am also trying to get rid of the plastic smell coming from it (which I expected from polypropylene). But, other than that, I am very satisfied with my purchase! As this rug is quite thin, I ended up purchasing a rug pad to go underneath it. But, this rug looks elegant and has changed the entire look of my living room. I would not pay full price for it, but since I bought it during an extreme sale, it was definitely worth the money. I love it!

I really love the rug. I had looked at other review photos so I had an idea of what it would look like but I was very pleasantly surprised at the colors in person. The quality is good and I really like the blues, greys and whites. The carpet is soft. I included before and after photos; it is a 12x10 room with 10x8 rug. After a day of putting some small weights on the edges the rug laid flat. The rug warmed up the vibe in my den/office which has no windows and should look even better when the room is fully furnished/finished. I would recommend.

I LOVE THIS RUG! The navy seems slightly darker to me online and even in the picture I posted than it does in person. However, I was hoping it was a bit lighter in person as I saw that mentioned in another customer review. The color worked with my space beautifully. The blue is a light navy mixed with bits of lighter blue. The background is a very light gray/almost cream, which again does not seem to capture well in a photo as it is lighter/less yellow in person. Perhaps it’s just my screen. The rug came with a strong smell and rolled up, so I put it face down outside for a day, then a generous dose of febreeze to help with both the smell and for it to lay flat, which this remedy took care of. Again I love love love this rug and am so pleased with how it complements the room!

Well, what I disliked, but was really my fault, I ordered this rug in 6.7 X 6.7 at like 2am in the morning and then decided I wanted 8x10 called the next morning and it was too late to cancel, so I ordered the 8x10, and both arrived today. I put the 8x10 in my bedroom, took me 3 hours, taking bed apart, moving furniture out etc, but it was well worth it I Love it!!! Now, I have to go through returning the small one, but, my fault. They are speedy on their delivery for sure! I would definitely refer to a friend, but a high traffic area because of the blue, white and gray, only. A bedroom is perfect, or a room where there's very little traffic.
