Hand-knotted Stripes Apricot/ Sage Tibetan Wool Rug (4' x 6')

Hope this post will help other shoppers, as the Overstock photos of these rugs are terrible! In real life, the overall effect is "light-medium golden neutral", the stripes are a wonderful melange of subtle blues, olive, oranges, browns, even lavender - reminds me of a large spice rack . Very impressed with the subtle use of so many colors. Rugs are thick and soft, made by Safavieh Corp. rugs, part of the "Tibetan" line - and I have seen this rug online at 2-3x this price. Only downside is there was some rug shedding at first, typical of new wool rugs (otherwise 5 stars; colors, workmanship, pile thickness deserve 6 stars). Rug looks great with my "natural wood/cream" furniture. This is a dense knotted wool rug, suggest a pad on hardwood floors to protect the rug back - hope this helps, these rugs are far prettier than the photos - great for a neutral/golden/warm palette - my cat loves them too.

This rug is really beautiful, plush, and stylish. The colors are definitely lighter or more "muted" in person as other reviewers suggest. My rug did not come with any sort of fringe around it but rather a one-inch beige border of the same kind of wool as the rest of the rug. My only complaint- I wish it came in a bigger size!

I have purchased area rugs from Overstock before and have always been satisfied. As always, I received the rug within two days. It was intended for a trafficked area but the quality, color and texture were just too impressive and it ended up in my bedroom. The reason for the review is that it appears that the majority of area rugs sold by Overstock are made by SAFAVIEH. Knowing that now makes price comparisons much easier. I purchased two Safavieh rugs in this order and did some price comparisons after finding this out. No matter how much searching I did, I could not find this rug anywhere, and it is readily available, for less than twice the price. The other rug was available for the same price as Overstock on two websites. I am happy with both rugs, but much happier with the price of this one.
