SafaviehAnatolia Collection 8' Round Brown / Ivory AN516A Handmade Traditional Oriental Premium Wool Area Rug

Ugh! Rug would be beautiful and perfect for us EXCEPT that the green which appears a relatively solid shade in the photo is tiger striped on the rug we got – with striping throughout of very pale green and a fairly dark green. There is a lot of contrast between the 2 greens and it gives the green 'ground' of the rug a distinct striped appearance that clashes a bit with the floral design and makes the rug very 'busy' in appearance. We have several other Safavieh wool rugs and while the colors can have soft variations within them; we have not run into this problem of excessive contrast before :/ I will add a photo if I can figure out how. . . (Edit: there doesn't seem to be anyway to add a photo to this review)We are keeping it the rug because it's so big/heavy and would be difficult to package up and return and trying to work around it by simplifying the room otherwise (changing bed spread to solid color etc.) -- but we are very disappointed.

Do not buy this rug if you have allergies! I bought this rug about 6 months ago. It has been a nightmare. It sheds like crazy. If there was an option of returning it after this long I certainly would. I paid twice the amount for this rug than I do 2 other rugs and I love them so much more. An example of how much the rug sheds, I have to empty the Dyson vacuum cleaner canister 2-3 times each week when I vacuum. I have allergies and I know that this rug is exhacerbating them, so it’s going in the trash, despite how much I paid for it. I will order another one of the rugs that cost 1/3 the price and are holding up much better.

I placed this rug in our dining area and its muted colors work well with the adjoining family room. At first I thought the shedding wasn't bad, but it's awful. I have to vacuum the rug and hardwood floor every day. Hoping it will end soon. I'm super pleased with Amazon's price, as the identical rug is listed on Frontgate for $1,499. But, now I'm wondering whether it truly is the same rug.

I just got this rug a couple of days ago and placed it in our master bedroom. We have the 9x12. It is absolutely gorgeous. I have not experienced any shedding problems and it is very soft and thick. The color is pretty true to the web image, although the background green is lighter which worked great for us.

It is just an OK product. The color is not as bright as in the picture. i almost think it was used. it has strange odor (paint odor) that i was waiting for it to disappear. the order is lighter but i still can smelled after 5 months.

I never thought I'd buy a rug online, but this rug has been great. We've had it a couple of years now, paid half of what Sears wanted for the same item, and are happy with it. It's nice and dense. We have to cut off fibers that stick up now and then, but other than that it's great. We are a shoes off house so it's staying clean. And the colors are close to the picture.

I've had it for a few months now. Still sheds like crazy, although getting better. Must constantly pull the fuzz off the bottom of my vacuum while vacuuming. Colors are much more pale than picture displayed. Almost too pale. Kind of old and boring if you wanted something to accent a room. If that's the case, keep looking.

High quality rug. Colors turned out to be perfect. Risky buying a rug without seeing and touching but this rug purchase turned out great! Wife is very happy with it. When the Wife is happy--everbody's happy..
