SAFAVIEH Paris Shag Collection 2'3" x 14' Ivory SG511 Handmade Silken Glam 2.5-inch Thick Runner Rug

I agree with what most positive reviewers are stating. It sheds a tiny bit as do all shag carpets but not excessively, yes you need to weigh down the edges and it does smell a bit for a few days. It's very silky and luxurious and gives a high impact for a fairly low price. The silver is beautiful; the colour varies as the nap lifts but is not metallic or cheap-looking, just lustrous. Because it's so large and HEAVY (I bought 10x14), I ordered a sample 2x3 to try it out and returned it for full refund when I ordered the correct size. Full size is even nicer than the sample. I don't think the large size needs an underpad as it doesn't slip around and is plush and the binding doesn't show on larger sizes but smaller sizes will definitely have issues on both counts. You do feel the plastic lumps that encase the tufts so 1/8" or 1/4" underpadding may help a bit if you walk barefoot on it. I suggest you wait and try it first before ordering underpadding as good ones are kind of expensive. As happy as I am with the carpet, I'm dismayed that 2 weeks later it's listed for over $150 less than I paid! I'm hoping I can get a price adjustment.

After reading many negative reviews I was skeptical about purchasing this rug. There were many horror reviews about the rug not being anything close to what was pictured or described. The one thing I didnt see were any pictures or evidence proving how bad this product was. Me being the stubborn guy that I am decided to go against common sense thinking and I ended up purchasing the rug. Let me say I couldn't have been more surprised or happy with the quality, color, softness,texture of this rug. I agree it doesn't look like the picture, I honestly think it looks better in person in my opinion. I've attached a few pictures to give an idea to those interested on what to expect. I am very pleased with this purchase and would do it again in I a heart beat. If I had to be picky and list a con the only thing I would say is its quite thin. I would recommend placing some padding underneath but other than that. Great buy!

So, not what I expected. It is very thin and not comfortable at all. It is slippery and was FLAT at first. I decided to vacuum it, and this fluffed it up a little. It is very "soft" on your feet, but you feel the bottom mat, which is rough and scratchy. No cushion at all. I have it on a wood floor, so it isn't too bad, but I wish it has a little padding. It looks very pretty, especially after I vacuum it because it is fluffed up. After one day, I am starting to like it. The silver has a nice "shine" making it look "expensive" and not cheap. I am happy with this purchase, just not what I was expecting.

I could not be happier with this rug! I purchased the Silver color and it's pretty much as pictured. Med/dark gray one way, light gray/silver the other. It has a beautiful sheen and the texture is just so, so soft. As soon as we put it down, my ten year old did a snow angel on it! As with any area rug, when we unrolled it, it was curled at either end. A quick flip and reverse roll straightened it out in seconds. This rug on top of room carpeting so it has plenty of padding, but if you're putting this on a hard floor, definitely consider a pad underneath as the backing of this rug is rather thin (and I imagine it would slip around on a smooth surface.) It seems to be well made and the fibers (strings? I don't know what the technical term) seem very well attached to the backing. Awesome rug at a great price. Definitely recommend.

I love this brand of shag rug. I have 4 in various shapes and sizes. So soft and quality material.

I just got this rug this morning and I'm thrilled! It is exactly as I expected. I was looking for a rug that would fit my rustic contemporary feel but would also make my living area feel cozy. It looks very high end, is very soft, and only very minimal curling on the one end. I expect it will be flattened out in a few days with weight on it. I was hesitant to pick a rug that was just one color, and this one looks either brown, gray or silver depending on the light. I also ran my shark vacuum over it on the carpet setting to fluff it up and experienced no shedding, nor did it get caught up in the vacuum brush. I'm extremely pleased. Looks very high end, and a great value. I do agree with the other buyers, it isn't very thick, so I just left my old rug underneath and that thickens it up nicely and provides slip prevention.

This rug looks great but it’s really slippery on the hardwood AND it’s really slippery to walk on! It’s hard to get a grip on it. But it looks beautiful.

Ok this said used-mint it came had a strong smell (all carpet does) but on the back had a pink stain the front is fine so will keep. I LOVE this rug have ordered 3 times and will continue to order when need a new one. Same rug but round at my front entry. ❤️

Der Teppich kommt der Farbbeschreibung "schokolade" recht nahe, ich würde ihn allerdings eher als moussefarben bezeichnen. Aber, wie so oft, es gibt unzählige Möglichkeiten, Farben zu benennen und wichtig ist nur, dass das Produkt gefällt. Das schafft der bequeme, weiche Teppich, der sehr plüschig ausgeführt wurde. Ich laufe auch barfuß gerne auf ihm und meine Katzen lieben es, sich in ihn zu legen. Scheinbar ist es auch für sie ein toller Platz.

Absolute gorgeous! I love the shag carpets from this company. Beyond soft and luxurious. Thank you.

The quality is fantastic and I love the size! It looks so expensive too which is an added bonus when it was such good value for money!

Absolutely exactly what i was looking for and I couldn't be happier with this rug! I ordered the 3x5 foot in sable and it matches my decor perfectly. Its silky and dense and has a very sturdy woven fiber back...nothing cheap looking about it and for under $100, it's beyond worth it! I previously had a white area rug in a similar material but it was impossible to keep clean, especially having 2 cats that loved to puke on it. Lol The sable colour looks like a light taupe from a distance but the colour up close is a mix of dark chocolate and light beige as you can see in my photo. Great quality and highly recommended!

Der dicke Teppich wirkt sehr gemütlich und hat durchaus schick, allerdings wäre Polyester nicht unbedingt das Material meiner Wahl gewesen. Tatsächlich ist er aber ganz angenehm unter den Füssen. Nach dem Auspacken fiel mir kein unangenehmer Geruch auf, so gesehen ist hier alles okay. Wer es flauschig mag und nicht auf Tierhaar steht, kann hier sicherlich glücklich werden.
