SAFAVIEH Classic Collection 9' x 12' Burgundy / Navy CL362A Handmade Traditional Oriental Premium Wool Area Rug

This was my first experience doing an Amazon.com exchange and it worked fine. I had originally ordered a syntehtic carpet, also by Safavieh, but after a few days of living with it, realized I really wasn't satisfied. (The graphic elements of the pattern did not have enough definitation.) In spite of my reluctance to lug a 6x9' carpet to the UPS store, I picked out this wool rug (burgundy & navy) as an alternative, and began the exchange process. The window of time Amazon.com provided to send back the first carpet was quite generous. And amazingly, I ended up paying the UPS Store only about $6.00 to wrap the thing for shipping. Then, a couple of days after UPS confirmed that the returned carpet had been delivered, Amazon.com notified me that ithad been received, thus ensuring that I would not owe for the first carpet. As for the one I got, whcih I'm reviewing here, it is lovely. I saw that some reviewers criticized the slightly musty smell. I noticed this too but it disappeared after a day or two. For looks, I would recommend wool over synthetic, though admittedly it costs a bit more. I love the carpet.

This isn’t the first Safavieh rug I’ve purchased. This oval rug is a companion to a circular rug In my living room. I love the quality and the price is so affordable. The colors are consistent between sizes and style. Don’t hesitate to buy if you’re not sure.

This rug is very pretty, thick and bright. My only complaint is that it is Not 8 foot round but a 7 foot 10" like the one I replaced. Was hoping for a tad larger area rug. That said, it is a very think and lovely rug for the money.

I was happy with the first rug I bought it was exactly to measurements, but when I ordered this one in 8X10 it was about 6 inches short of 8 feet. Now I have to cut down the pad to fit. At 78 I’m not able to get this back in the packaging to return, it was hard enough for me to lay it down. Other than that, I’m very happy with the quality or I wouldn’t have ordered the second one. All wool rugs have a lot of fuzz and stuff in the beginning so be prepared for that. I would post a photo but I don’t know how.

I love this rug. I have been looking for a rug with a deep dark maroon/burgundy and this does not disappoint. The navy blue is also beautiful.

For only $222, this carpet is a very good deal. It's wool, in a more-or-less traditional Persian pattern. The colors were exactly as depicted in the listing: a nice rich burgundy with dark blue, pale red and tan. While it could never be said this is a fine carpet, it is an unbelievable value. We are very pleased with it. The only downside is that it sheds quite a lot at first, but we did not expect any different.

First of all, the packaging was FILTHY! Not only did it smell musty & mildewy-- it had DIRT all over it & stuck to the packing tape! The rug also stinks like mildew! It came with a card that recommends you let it air out, because the fibers have been squished together during shipping. News flash-- squished wool should still smell like wool-- not mildew & dirt! It doesn't even smell, or feel, like real wool. It's stiff & almost clumpy feeling, like my synthetic rugs. I've had wool rugs, and they are much softer & the fibers glide back & forth smoothly. I'm seriously doubting if this is wool-- as in the fiber that comes from sheep or goats. (I once had a totally different seller use the word "wool" in place of the word "yarn," when describing something synthetic.) As for the pattern, it looks considerably less detailed than the photos! And, no, the different size shouldn't matter-- there's a lot of empty space left over! The designs are sloppy. I wasn't expecting a lot, at this sale price. But, the "original" price lead me to believe it would be much better than it is.

Love this carpet.. Ordered them in different sizes
