SAFAVIEH Fontana Shag Collection Area Rug - 6'7" x 9', Grey & Ivory, Modern Design, Non-Shedding & Easy Care, 2-inch Thick Ideal for High Traffic Areas in Living Room, Bedroom (FNT853G)

This rug was even better than I’d hoped it would be! I was a bit nervous about it, as we needed something extra plush and soft for our wild kid, and I was skeptical as to whether the pattern would look as nice in person—most rugs tend to photograph better online. Fortunately, the rug delivered on both fronts. It looks incredible in person, and like a much more expensive rug than it is. And it is SO soft. Our toddler has been rolling around on it constantly for the past day. We ordered the 8x10, which was just right for our space and feels much bigger. While it *is* extra plush, if you are looking for lots of cushion, you may still want a pad for underneath. The ends were curled up a bit from being rolled to ship, but I was able to quickly remedy with some heavy items on the corners overnight. Shipping was also very pleasant. Initially I was told it was on back order till August. Then yesterday came up to my door after a walk, and found the giant rug awaiting on my steps. I was pumped! It was well packaged and clean, smell wasn’t overpowering or anything like that.My kid hasn’t spilled any food or weird art supplies on it yet, so I can’t comment on how well it cleans. But rest assured, she will get after it in no time. So I’ll be sure to provide an update once her reign of terror starts.

The rug arrived rolled and sealed in plastic so even though it was raining, it stayed completely dry.The new rug smell was very minimal and even slightly pleasant - I am hyper sensitive to scents and get instant headaches or coughing fits but this didn't do that.The colors are pretty much as expected, the gray might be a little bit darker and there is lighter beige than I expected but it's a dark, cloudy day so maybe I'll see the colors a bit better on a brighter day.I rolled it out no problem, the edges were curled up quite a bit and I was afraid they wouldn't settle. I vacuumed the rug to fluff it up and while doing that, it settled down the edges of the rug so they were almost completely flat by the time I was done. They're still a little bit curled but I expect it to simmer down over the next week and if not, I do have some rug corner things to help hold them down. Not too worried about it.I bought this rug after spending time at my brother's house and my sister's house. My brother bought a rug at Sam s Club that looked similar, not sure what brand, but the largest size was 8x10. My sister's rug was from Way fair and is from the Safaveigh Hudson Shag collection. Both of those rugs are definitely cushier under foot than this rug. This rig is still a lot cushier than a regular low pile rug, and the fibers are SUPER SOFT, but the problem is that the fibers are actually too soft/thinso they don't offer much cushion under your feet. My brother's and sister's rugs are almost as soft but considerably more cushion. You can lay down comfortably and even wrestle, flinging kids around, on their rugs (with no additional padding) but I can't sit comfortably on this one not would I ever attempt wrestling with the kids on it.It's not a bad rug by any means and I think I'll keep it but I'm bummed that I will have to buy an additional rug pad to go under it. I was hoping it would be like my sister's Safaveigh rug but it just isn't. I am slightly regretting not just getting the low pile and super colorful rug I actually wanted since I'll have to buy a rug ad anyway and I got this one in hopes of avoiding having to get a separate rug pad.It looks nice and is definitely silky soft underfoot so if rug textures or even carpet textures tend to be a problem for you, I recommend this. But if you're looking for a cushiony pile, this isn't it.

The rug is very pretty. I have it in the bedroom with the bed on top. The softness feels great on bare feet.

I own a design firm, when I have clients on a tighter budget- this brand is a go to! The rugs are always beautiful & look much more expensive than they are.

This rug is so pretty! Looks just like the photo. The shag is really fluffy and soft. I’ve ordered Safavieh rugs before and all have been great quality. It’s my go-to brand.

I ordered an 8x10, got an 8x9.. and it’s not even the same design, the one I ordered had straight lines, this one has swirls. Too much of a hassle to return.. The rug itself is soft but not worth what I paid.

My house full of boys all love this rug … I have searched the design world for years trying to find the best rug for my space and this one finally made the cut! The other reviews were a huge help and I am amazed and how great this rug turned out! Definitely worth the money!

Great rug. Ok price. I did have to tape corners down with packaging tape for a week to get it to lay flat after it arrived folded in half and rolled. But no visible permanent damage from shipping. I’d recommend this rug!
