Safavieh X-Large Light Grey Ombre Area Rug

I bought blindly because of reviews but do not let them fool you. I bought two large rugs, 10×14, and 8×10. I had just moved and had them sent to the new house. It has hard floors and I just wanted to put something to cover them while putting furniture down etc. I am not debating the price. Yes I knew they were cheap especially for the size so to some degree I didn’t have high expectations. I wasn’t expecting thick or plush etc. I am ok with cheap low quality stuff when it at least serves its purpose. These couldn’t even do that.

My biggest mistake, to the fault of my own, was that I didn’t open them in time to return them. I was in the middle of a big move and got to them about two weeks too late. Had I opened them on time they definitely would’ve been returned.

The 10×14 came folded. FOLDED. It took months before even the slightest creases came out. I ended up on it with an iron a few hours a day for about a week just to get it to settle. I have singe marks from the iron in some places where I edged the towel but that’s the sacrifice I had to make because this was the worst buy. You can see the edges are completely wrong and crooked. Three months later you can still see the middle crease. The picture doesn’t do it justice. Picture is THREE MONTHS open. You can walk and feel the tight creases that I’ll only be able to get out with some sort of heat steamer. I paid about 50 less than if I would paid for a cheap rug that I wouldn’t have to put the extra labor into. Price ok for size (I bought at 195) but 100 PERCENT NOT WORTH IT because of the way it was folded. Texture wise, yes it’s thin but ok.

The 8×10 was rolled, but worse. It’s faded on the carpet side where the tape was on the outer. It’s so thin, I thought rolling would be better but it’s worse. The waves are so bad and uneven, it’s like wet fabric where it over stretches in some area. This one was not worth it for all reasons including price. I put it outside in the sun everyday for a week hoping for heat release. The picture is the third day. It’s rolled up in my garage now because it never flattened. An 8×10, a very decent one that I’ve purchased in the past from Ikea was only $25 more.

Even though it’s preference, just know the colors are not as muted as the picture. The gray is dark so where it blends with the white, it looks like zebra stripes. See pic.

I did not have high expectations, but I expected proper function. Spend the extra 100 or 2 any where else. Home Depot even. But if you buy these rugs in these larger sizes, you’re throwing money away. I can not speak for smaller sizes.

The colour is not as pictured or described. One end looks white, then some cream as stated, but with almost a light brown mixed in and last section has almost a pink and maybe a slight gold? With what looks like almost green. Maybe in the large size it would be good, but 3×4 ft not so much. It’s for the bathroom so I can live with it. But would not have bought this if seen in person. Maybe the other colour choices look better, but I won’t be buying them that’s for certain.

I love this rug took a while for bumps to flatten out.

It took like a month to come . Otherwise looks great but thin

Fine, no issues, a little thin but good enough for under a bed.

This area rug helped to brighten up my living room, and it did it on a budget. It is relatively thin, but it seems to be well made. I’ve only had it down for a week and I’m continuing to deal with creases that were created during shipping, but that was expected. All things considered, I’m pleased with this purchase.

I love the pattern of this rug gives my office just the right amount of color to complement the walls. Once I laid it out, the wrinkles from it being folded settled out. It’s very easy to vacuum.
