Hand-tufted Metro Circles Brown Wool Rug (5' x 8')

I have had my rug out for a week now and LOVE it. I ordered this particular rug based 100% off the glowing reviews and I must say that I am not disappointed. I ordered it on Cyber Monday and it was delivered within 10 days, which is my only complaint since the initial delivery date when ordered showed 2 days which was important since we were leaving town, so know that until the product is processed and shipped you may need to be flexible in your receiving dates! Back to the product, I was pretty nervous once it arrived because the roll was so small, but once I laid it out I was happy. The colors are spot on and the pile is thick and dense, my 4 year old laid on it as I was unrolling it and asked if she could sleep on it because it was "so soft". I have yet to place a pad under it (and will to protect the wood floor and help extend the life of the carpet), however you do not need one to add to the thickness of this rug. The backing is not the usual harsh material which literally sands your wood floors, so you probably don't need to buy a thick felt or expensive pad, you will be fine with a thin skid pad. We live in a 90 year old bungaloo, so the space is small and also is a major walkway from the front door to the rest of the house so finding a patterned rug that wasn't an eyesore has been quite the challenge. In addition to that challenge is matching and complementing colors...our wood floors are original oak with various hues that are more golden brown than what is on the market today, our walls are taupe and the furniture is an inbetween taupe/tan with espresso accents, warms/cools/dark...ugh. Anyhow, this rug is ridiculous in it's magical powers to tie all those colors together and not overwhelm. I was also surprised with it's ability to adapt the feel and rather than overwhelm the room with even more browns, it actually lightened it up with the blue and green hues (which are beautiful). This rug appeals to both genders, I am challenged with always trying to decorate in a way which isn't too frilly or too masculine but isn't bland or solid color. My husband saw the rug and said "you have good taste, the room looks great!", so it passed the gender test. The corners completely flat with a few hours and because I have a couch positioned on it, it doesn't seem to move much...but I would still suggest a skid pad. You will be vaccuming it a lot at first, so just plan on that being one of the first things you do when you lay it out. I filled 3 canisters full with going over it 3 times, after that it seems to not be filling quite so fast, but I suspect it will take a few weeks of vigilant vaccuming to get it almost "shed proof". Also, I would have expected all the wool that came out to cause thinning spots, but the more I vaccum the thing the nicer it looks and feels! I can't say enough about this rug...I only wish I had ordered it larger because now I want more of my floor covered! I plan on ordering the larger size after the holidays :)

I bought this rug because the colors matched my living room well. It was shipped quickly & looks great. I don't like that it gets little balls on it & is sheds if you sit on it. It is itchy to sit on. Overall it serves its purpose & looks nice with my color scheme.

• How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The colors were about the same as in the picture.
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. The quality is okay. The problem is the rug sheds onto clothes if you are sitting on it. it also gets little balls all over it & has some threads that stick out & can easily be pulled out.

I needed a rug with a little bit of fun in it for our media room and this one works perfectly. The color matches the room perfectly and placing it over the dual supreme felted rug pad adds both warmth and comfort. When I vacuum it there are fibers in the vacuum cleaner, but shedding is a normal process for this rug. I do not find fibers all over as we walk on it, it is only when it is vacuumed. Great value at overstock!

It's a beautiful rug. Feels thick and well made. It's wool, so it sheds quite a bit at first, but it's worth it since it's so pretty.
