Very soft, but odd color.

This rug is unusually soft – better for a bedroom than an entryway. The large loops were flattened on arrival. Don't know if they will spring to life after a while, or stay smushed or flatten even more under foot traffic. The mottled pattern will likely hide dirt, but those large soft loops do not look scrubbable. The color of the Light Gray/Ivory is a bit strange. The ivory background is very yellowish, and the light gray is cool – almost lavender. Doesn’t work for me.

Beautiful rug but constantly sheds

We purchased the 8x10 Ivory/Beige rug and are very happy with the pile height and the way it looks in our bedroom. Unfortunately, the rug has been shedding constantly since we bought it. When we first unrolled it, we followed the care instructions and vacuumed the whole rug. To our surprise, we filled multiple trash bags with loose rug fibers just from that initial vacuuming. We left it alone in hopes that things would get better but the shedding never stopped. It's now been three months and our bedroom and clothes are constantly covered with rug fibers. You cannot walk on the rug without your feet becoming covered in fibers. We vacuum it infrequently (never with a beater brush) and it is not necessarily in a high-traffic area (most of the rug is under our bed, and there's only two of us walking on it). It's gotten to the point where we are looking for a new rug despite loving the way that this one looks, which is super disappointing. Not sure if we just got a bad apple but would not recommend.

Another Safavieh home run

I'm a huge fan of all things Safavieh, especially the wool rugs, and this is no exception. It's thick, lush and soft under foot, and barely sheds at all. The loops, which give it a berber feel, are properly woven and do not pull. The subtle gray pattern suits the minimalist and, at the same time, adds enough interest to draw the eye. I don't hesitate to use wool in the kitchen because it's much more durable than synthetic fibers. I've had Safavieh wool rugs under my table for years and years because they hold up extremely well to vacuuming, spot cleaning and the steam cleaner. I spray them with Scotchguard first as a measure of insurance, and never have a problem.

Perfect

The colors are amazing, love this rug
