SAFAVIEH Area Rug 8×10 – August Shag Collection – Large – Beige, Solid Pattern, Non-Shedding & Easy Cleaning, Plush Thick Pile, Ideal for Living Room, Bedroom, Dining Space (AUG200D)

Great!!
Exactly what I was looking for, correct color, low pile, soft, looks durable. I put a thick rug pad under mine for the guest room. Love it❣️

Needed a nice looking new rug because of what-a-good-boy…
Needed an inexpensive and a bit shaggy rug that wouldn’t show whatever the spoiled rotten dog tracked in so decided this could be the rug. It was. Love the color and the pile is thick enough—better than those 60’s shag rugs. Vacuums easily without tripping up on the vacuum brushes. When it arrived, it looked thin/flimsy so I laid it upside down for a few days to let the corners flatten and settle down, vacuumed it good—now looks great. Easy to clean (did I mention the dog?) and doesn’t show stains (did I mention he was old?). Overall, a nice rug and a good value for the price.

Pretty and soft, but kind of thin and the pieces come out.
This is not a heavy carpet. We have had it down in our living room for a bit now and I will say it gets dirty really quickly. Also, we have had quite a few of the carpet pieces come out. Also, it does scoot around if you move a chair on it, like it buckles up where other furniture is sitting on it. Our other rugs didn’t do that. Overall it is good for the price but I can see we will probably be in need of a new one in a year or so. I had hoped it would last longer than that.

11′ x 11′ size is a BEAR to handle alone!
11’x11′ is the exact size I needed and I am so happy I found it! The shipping weight is about 90 lbs, so be prepared. Mine arrived really quickly and FedEx left it on my stoop, leaning against my front door. I was home at the time and could see how it was positioned before opening the door, thanks to the delivery verification photo. I grabbed my long bathroom runner rug, laid it face down in the front hallway and eased most of the length of the box onto the rug. I was then able to pull the rug into my great room with the box on top of it. This was no small feat for a 75 yr old, 5’2″ 115 lb woman, but I have lived alone for many years and learned to use leverage to my advantage. Unboxing was intense – lots of heavy-duty corrugated cardboard, plastic and paper wrapping to cut through and get out of the way. I was lucky to find the rather small (4.5″ x 8.5″ insert from the manufacturer inside. I almost threw it out with the packing materials. It’s labelled “SETUP – Please unfold it as soon as possible!” Glad I saw and read that because I was planning to tackle that part the next day. My rug had been folded and then rolled. I pushed through, got it unfolded and then re-rolled it per the setup instructions. Let me warn you, it’s very thick and HEAVY and not so easy to move around! Would have been so much easier to do with another person (and no cat)! After 24 hours, I managed to lay it out flat over my existing carpet pad and then could see that it was a perfect cut and fit, but the front edge was curling up. I decided to re-roll it so that I could bend that edge under. I waited another 24 hours, unrolled it, and then vacuumed it in 2 directions using the highest rug pile height setting. At first, I was concerned that the ivory color was too yellow but after vacuuming and placing my furniture out on it, it blends very well with my old white brick fireplace and my off-white built-in wall cabinet, as well as the white leather IKEA dining chairs in the adjacent area. As far as keeping it clean, I usually wear socks around the house because my downstairs brick floor gets cold. So, no shoes and no bare feet (unless I just got out of the shower)!
