Ordered this as a replacement for a temporary faux-Berber rug I knew I would eventually upgrade once we moved in and got settled. I have grey walls with an ivory-bone couch. The "white" is certainly not off-white or anything close to it. It's truly an ivory (not beige; it's too light for beige) or what I would call "bone" since that is the accurate description of my couch and the light color in this rug matches nearly perfectly with my couch. The grey is a medium grey with a strong undertone of lilac and steel blue. I think it's a nice color and gives it a soft appearance, but against grey walls it does appear not as true grey. It's super plush and the pile is a nice height. The stripes do have slight divides (valleys) between them such that it's not smooth over the top of the rug, but it's a great textural effect. As for shedding, yes, it sheds and I vacuumed a good 15 minutes and really sucked up a LOT of material! I filled the Dyson 1.5 times. Speaking of the Dyson, on carpet mode it’s too rough on this rug and it started to rip the tufts a bit. So I’ll use it only on bare floor mode such that the brushes are not engaged. I’ve yet to use the Roomba on it which I expect will be a disaster and just an overall hot-mess of a job in cleaning this carpet. I don’t think this rug sheds anymore than any other good quality rug. If you have a rug that does not shed at all then it’s not a real rug.

This is a fabulous rug if you are looking for a lavender Safari rug instead of a grey. Quality great, delivery great but color very lavender. I figure I can do something with it....

I am so pleased with this purchase. I had been looking for a new rug for our family room that was not too dark as our sofa and chairs are various shades of grays. Our sofa is the darkest gray with silver hammered nail heads and it is 110" long. So this was the main piece to coordinate with the right rug. This all wool rug is exactly what we wanted in both style and quality. It really is quite soft and the threads are very short yet still plush. I have not noticed any orange threads in ours as described in a previous review. The colors are moe a soft ivory and the gray is silvery gray with just a hint of blue gray. It makes the room with a very casual, but still sophisticated statement. Thanks Overstock for offering such a great item at an unbelievably low price. I was almost ordered a very similar rug for near $$$ I saved over $$$. :)

Great rug. Thick, plush, colors look like the website. Sheds very little like most wool rugs. A beautiful rug at a great price.

I received this rug as a housewarming present from my sister-in-law about 3 years ago (a little to late to write a review i know!). However, 3 years later this rug is still shedding. The picture matches the rug very well and I love the look of it. It's very modern and great for the price but the fact that it's still shedding quite a bit is quite annoying honestly! Makes for a lot of clean up. It's in the middle of our living room, so a very high traffic area, so thats not helping either. Overall I would not not recommend this rug just because it looks shabby because of all the continuos shedding.

This is a well made rug, however it sheds a bit, i love the look, looks high end.

A great rug. I'm happy with the color and quality. It is wool so it's going to shed a lot at first but I'm fine with that because it's expected. I was surprised at the way the item was shipped- in a couple sheets of thick plastic. Unfortunately, my first rug arrived damaged during shipping but O.com was fast to refund my purchase. I ordered another in the 6'x6' size.

• How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The color was very accurate. It's a nice light gray.
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Very nice quality. I'm going to use a rug pad but it's very soft even without.
• How accurate was the on site description of the product? Accurate site description of product.

I saw this rug online on two high-end websites for $800 and this is the exact same rug, but for a much lower price! It is great quality and the colors are vibrant. It looks great with a variety of colors, though. I can't say enough about this rug- everyone who has seen it has loved it! I would absolutely recommend this rug to everyone.

I love this rug, the quality of materials seems good, it's beautiful, but its hand tufted, the finishing work is only as good as the finisher. I hope what I received in shipment today was an anomaly, but the rug appears to have been tufted (trimmed and sculpted) by someone that doesn't have the skill level for this particular design. The striping in the rug just isn't organic with soft edges, but rather jagged, rough, and hard edges that are not round but square, they immediately draw the eyes attention and take away from what could have been a beautiful rug. Unfortunately this rug looks like a $5 haircut with a dull pair of shears. This could have been fixed, had it been inspected properly for quality of finish work. I'm just hoping this particular rug was for training purposes which accidentally got mixed in with those rugs tufted by more experienced crafters.

Ordered this carpet (along with another 5X8) and am in love with the design and colors. Just what I wanted, I was surprised at the thickness of the pile when it was delivered. It is a very heavy rug and will last a long, long time! And, yes, people - it is shedding! But it DID come with a flyer mentioning that as well. I have vacuumed it a few times in the week it was delivered and I did get a lot of the shed fibers into the vacuum. And this is what's to be expected for a while. That, to me, is no problem. The manufacturer (and the reviewers) said that it would stop shedding after a few weeks and I feel it well worth the extra vacuuming in the meantime. The design is unique and the colors wonderfully accented. I call it my "O" rug, because of the design. The colors are pretty "spot on" from what I saw on my computer to it's actual colors. So glad I bought this!

Wow I love this rug and so does everyone who sees it. I actually saw the rug in another home and asked where she had purchased it. I was told Overstock.com and that evening was on-line looking but wouldn't make the purchase until we secured a home we were trying to buy. The day we closed on our new house I was on-line and bought it. The rug arrived in just a few days and I couldn't wait to roll it out. It adds color to the room, it's a good quality rug, and it's something you won't see in just any department store. I couldn't be happier with my purchase!

Love the rug! I think the colors are exact, silver grey with cream. It gives a great modern look to my office. I've had the rug one month and it does shed a lot, but this seems to be the norm with wool rugs.

Was initially disappointed because the color looks different online. The white is more cream and the gray has no bluish tint to it AT ALL like picture displays. Since I have a very white sofa sectional sitting on it, you could really tell the yellow/cream tint in the rug. Since shipping is so expensive to return, I thought I would sell it off craigslist at a loss and buy another one. But because the print is really nice and modern and clean, I decided to keep it anyway. But beware, I am writing this review 6 months later and this rug does shed. You'll need to be good about your vaccuuming at least once a week especially if the rug is in a high traffic area because little gray fuzzies start to develop all over the rug. All in all, I like the look and comfort.

• How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Okay - Was expecting white to be white, but it is actually cream/ivory. Thought gray would be more bluish, but it's more of a true gray.

I love this rug. It was my first choice and i am so happy with it. I wish I had ordered two! It is thick and seems fairly well made. Arrived quickly and compliments my room very nicely. Easy to clean would definitely recommend this product.

It is pretty and the color is perfect for my living room. My only complain is that we had to vacumm the rug everyday for couple of weeks. other than that, i am happy with the purchase.

The quality of this area rug is excellent> as soon as the box was delivered it took three ppl to carry it. I’ve had the carpet for 2 months now and with a husband and 2 young boys it’s still in good shape, there is almost no shedding at all

Please believe everything excellent that you have read about this rug. It is in the center of my living room and everyone immediately remarks on how beautiful it is as soon as they enter the room. The colors on my computer didn't do it justice. It is truly a conversation piece. It sheds somewhat, but that is minor. I'm loving this rug and the new atmosphere it brings to my room!
