Feels/looks nice, packaged well, flattened quickly

I am happy with this rug, especially for the price. Feels nice, looks nice, packaged well (wrapped and had protective end caps), the colors are very vibrant, AND it flattened nicely and quickly. I just did a little opposite roll and placed some heavy items on the corners for a few hours, and it was almost completely flat already.

False Advertisement

Advertised size is not accurate. The rug I received was a lot smaller than 12x12. After contacting the manufacturer,no was told that the majority of Lyndhurst rugs are not as advertised due to machine production. I would not recommend buying from this company. I purchased two rugs and they both had quality issues.

I have purchased 3 Safavieh Lyndhurst Feryal Traditional Oriental Medallion Rugs in Ivory and Red. One 2’.3” x 6’ Runner, one 6’ x6’ Round Rug, and one 6’ x 9’ Rug. The quality of the rugs is good. They are a little thinner than I thought they would be. The color is good. I really couldn’t find the color rug and design of the rug that I really wanted so I settled for these. I really did not want a red rug but, I am glad that the red in these rugs is not a bright red and is more muted. The design of these rugs is different from the oriental rugs that I am used to seeing and purchasing but, overall I am pleased with these purchases. They are nice rugs for the price. (I included 3 pictures in this review. Where are they? I added one final sentence to my review and I was going to add a title because I forgot to do that. Can you retrieve my original review with the photos that I sent and included so that I can add these edits and a title?)

Better than pictured

3'3" by 5'3" red/black. LOVE this rug. I already had a safavieh large rug in living area that is blue with some browns, tan etc etc, and this one while called red with black has a blue background around the medalion, so it looked great with what I had and is more interesting that the picture, colorwise. I tend to love LOTS of stuff going on, so the more variations in color the better, for me. The pile is thick but not so thick I can't have it in my tiny "entry" area of my tiny apt. I just purchased another Safavieh rug today, makes the 5th "type" and only 1 disappointment. Take a look at customer's photos while shopping, I find that really helps. If I had done that extensively when shopping months back, I probably wouldn't have bought the 1 design I was disappointed with. My pics don't do it justice, sorry.

Gosh, does this rug stink!!

Arrived at our home on Thursday, Sept. 15, opened it up and laid it on our living room floor. (It arrives with a CUTE note saying that it is 'wrinkled' - of course it would be wrapped up so tight. Also said "Yes, that's the scent of a new rug... and in a little time in fresh air...your nose won't even know I'm here.") Well, by Thursday evening, the scent was so overwhelming, our eyes hurt and our noses burned....we could not stand it! So out into the garage. (Even once out of the house, the strong odor remained in the house for two days!) Today is Sunday, Sept 18, and it is still overwhelmingly smelly (unrolled, sitting on the roof of a car) Hoping that it will eventually quit off-gassing and we can bring it back in to our house! If it wasn't for the smell, would give it a 4 star rating - very pretty, nicely made, but should have been called 'yellow' not ivory. We do have previous rugs from Safavieh - one wool and another a man-made fiber, but neither of them stinks like this one! If it does not air out, will have to return it!

So happy I purchased this rug!

This rug exceeded my expectations! I searched long and hard for a rug for our reading/living area. Our house is decorated in mostly neutral colors with some pops of color. I was a little nervous to buy this rug because of the vibrant colors but decided to give it a try and purchased the rust color. When it arrived and was put down in the room I immediately loved it, almost to my surprise. The colors are beautiful and add the right pop of color to our otherwise neutral color pallet. I also love how it formalizes the room a bit and pulls it together. Also I am very impressed with the quality. It is very soft to walk on and looks and feels more expensive than what I paid. Very pleased! PS: we will be purchasing a coffee table to go in the space, so ignore the current ottoman in the picture

Perfect for a long wooden hallway!

Love love love this rug. First day we let it lay flat upside down to hopefully flatten the corners. Now by day 3 only one corner kinda sorta pops up, but not enough for us to care or do anything about it. I'm sure it'll flatten in a few more days; I'm putting something on heavy on top before I leave for work each day so I'm sure that will do the trick. We used nonslip pads underneath and it stays still in our super long old school hallway (for reference, the entire hallway is over 27ft long. I wanted a 23.5ft long rug or so, and 22ft was the closest option. Works great!!!). Also, it's pretty darn soft and feels great to walk on barefoot.

True colors, true size and high quality.

I took about three weeks going back and forth on if these were the rugs for me. Yes!! They are perfect and beautiful! I knew I wanted Safavieh because of history with their high quality. I just wasn't sure if the colors would be true, size would be true, etc. Yes!! The rust color is true, not red and not orange. The green is an olive green, plus cranberry and light blue accents. The 7'9x9'9" works well for my dining room. That size has the rust color more prominent with the wide border and the center medallion. The living room rug is 11x14. That size has the cream color prominent, still with the rust border and medallion, just more room for tan, brown, black, green, cranberry and light blue accents. They are so soft, the pile is tight, short and thin strands. It looks like wool pile. I have a wool Safavieh runner near these rugs and it's tough to tell the difference.one other thing...get...a rug...pad! I put a 1/8" rug pad under the dining room rug on day 1 where the living room rug pad was delayed for a week. Wow, what a huge difference that pad makes! Crazy really. Then when the 3/8" pad arrived for the living room, the difference was night and day! Highly recommend. In summary, I can't believe I hesitated ordering these. Perfect rugs!

Beautiful rich rug

I ordered 2- a 6x9 and a 9x12 to replace 30 year old woolen ones. I did my homework and read reviews of dozens and dozens of rugs before ordering. They arrived in under a week in perfect condition. I had good rug pads so the look is as rich and deep as the woolen ones I had. The are soft and thick. The only thing I was not prepared for is that the design enlarged to 9x12 looks a bit different than same design in 6x9. It makes sense but it took a little getting used to. They replace much more muted colors and though I knew that from photos it is still taking a little getting used to. Overall- a very rich replacement for old rugs which stood the years and wear of a large family. The price was incredible given this red tag sale with free shipping. Very satisfied.

Our rug was delivered this morning and is absolutely beautiful. We have dark hardwood floors and dark furniture, so having the ivory background of this rug gave us the juxtaposition we were looking for. The red motif in the rug is gorgeous and vibrant. It came very well packaged and once we unrolled it, we had no difficulties with it curling up very much. Right now we just have some chairs on the ends of the rug to hold it down but it barely curled up. The only thing that we experienced and wasn't expecting was the strong chemical smell of the fibers. It has mostly dissipated by now, as it's been about 1.5 hours since it was delivered, but we have the windows open to help the fumes exit. So, if you have allergies and things like that, just be prepared that it will (temporarily) have a strong chemical odor. We really love this rug!

This pattern is NOT exactly as shown in the Overstock advertisement / listing. There is a LOT more "blank space" in the center ivory-colored section (please see the photos I attached to my review). The differences are subtle to the individual details, but when you look at the area rug as a whole (it's in the center of my room for everyone to see!) it is MUCH more noticeable overall. I love this brand, Safavieh Lyndhurst, and purchased another round area rug from them and love it. Both rugs are VERY comfortable on the bare foot! This discrepancy in the pattern of the photo advertised and the pattern received was a little bit of a disappointment though because how difficult is it to just sell what you're advertising? LoL Oh well... It is very difficult to find a large, round area rug at an affordable price and I am tired of shopping around for this now that it's here. Also, it came folded up like a paper airplane, not rolled like a normal area rug so it's got all these weird creases and folds all over. Such a strange way to ship it I love Overstock and will continue to order from them (they accept Bitcoin!) but will make sure to read all 3-star and below reviews on anything I am considering spending hard earned money on.
