after reading some of the negative reviews of this product, i was frightened that the rug would end up looking like rat hair, or something. i also expected it to be incredibly itchy because of the wool. i was pleasantly surprised when i received it today, which by the way was only 2 business days after i had ordered it. the wool is VERY soft. craftsmanship is impressive as well. sure it sheds, but i feel like that is typical of ALL wool (think about it, your winter sweaters shed don't they?). also the value of this rug is incredible. i looked at many other stores before checking overstock, and these rugs ran well into the $300s-$500s, especially for the size. overall much more satisfied than i thought i would be. don't take the negative reviews too seriously, especially since this rug is such a great value.

Just FYI, these rugs are wool and DO shed. They need raked, they need shaken out, and they need special care when having them cleaned. They will last forever, but educate yourself on how to care for them. I adore Flokati, the thicker the better. But they are not "simple." I bought one awhile back from Overstock and I just wanted to let people know that there is a learning curve with them. The one I purchased from Overstock was as fine as any other. Go to a reputable website that sells these exclusively and read up about their care, the weight/thickness issues, etc. THEN you can complain if you think the one you purchased is less than quality.

I was very surprised to get a rug this good on-line, sight unseen. It is very thick, plush and lovely. I have been looking at flokati rugs for years and this is the best I've seen. The wool is super soft. I would not recommend it if you have shedding pets or messy children. I think it would be impossible to get the hair out. Good for adults only in my opinion. Little toys would get lost in the deep fibers and drippy juice boxes would be awful. It slides around easily and does need a pad (which I ordered here today) to keep it in place. It's a beautiful carpet. I am very happy with it.

I purchased this for my new grandchild's room. The rug is beautiful, and so very,very soft. I researched the flokati rugs before purchasing.This rug at 2000gm was middle of the line,highest 4000gm. I was very happy to find such a reasonable price for such a high quality rug!

I love this rug!!! I bought three! I was a little concerned when I first received the rug because it didn't look plush at all. I took a medium bristled brush and gently brushed the rug. This removed the excess hair and opened the fibers right up, making it soft and very plush. I noticed that if I brush the rug often, it removes any dirt or whatever falls into the rug before it falls too deep into the rug making it difficult to remove. I have two small children and I don't have any issues with hairs from the rug getting all over them. This is due to the fact that I make sure I brush it often. It truly is a beautiful rug.

I was very disappointed in this rug. I already have an older flokati, but this one is much inferior. It is a poor imitation of a good flokait.

• How did the color on site compare with the actual product? exactly as described
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Appears cheap, not a quality flokati rug at all.
• How accurate was the on site description of the product? Not accurate, misleading.

I have purchased several rugs from Overstock in the past 2 years and I am always amazed but the value and quality . This Flokati rug is no exception. You simply cant find anything like it in terms of plushness at this incredible price. The wool is very soft and very thick. If your in the market for a Flokati THIS IS IT.

I love this rug! It looks and feels fantastic. I was just wondering if it is EVER going to stop "shedding"??? It's like having a dog or very hairy cat. The only downfall I have about this rug is that you can't vacuum it. Good thing it's small enough to pick up and shake outside.

I made this purchase for our bedroom wanting to add something soft to add texture and comfort against the cold and rather modern wood floors. This flokati really did the trick and made the whole room a lot more "Ogranic' in look and feel. The quality of this rug is superb. It's both plush and dense with wool fiber and the color is the very classic natural. The price at overstock was also better than most web sites I looked at. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I have owned many flokati rugs in the last 15 years but this one beat them all . Very plush, dense and soft. Arrived within a few days. Thanks

I wish someone told me this before, the carpet shed its fabric so often that it looks like a have a big dog in the house. Other than that, the first impression I get from the carpet is luxurious, but after using it for 4 months, I wished I returned it when I first got it.

I love this rug, but there are a few things that differ from what I was expecting. The good first: The rug is very soft and is true to size and color. It has only shed a little for me, but I brushed it with a metal dog brush and shook it out before I started using it. Now the unexpected: From the description and pictures I thought the fibers would be more tightly packed to make a deeper nap. As it is, the fibers mostly lay flat and the rug is only about 0.5 inches tall. Fluffing it now and again helps it look thicker. The rug backing is a bit stretchy and quite slippy on a smooth surface. I purchased a felted, no-slip, rug pad with great results. The rug now stays in place and is even a bit softer to walk on.

• How did the color on site compare with the actual product? True to color.
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Seems well made so far.
• How accurate was the on site description of the product? Quite acurate escept the wool fibers are not as tightly packed as I thought they would be.

The rug is thinner than pictures, middle pic is more true, needs a rug pad. gives character to room, and overall good for the price

I am happy with Overstock.com and plan to order more items for my house. I reccommend reading reviews so you know what to expect.

• Did the color match the color displayed onsite? The color is "natural" although it appears white on the site. still a nuetral but a slightly yellowed white, but it is very nice.
• How is the quality of the product? good quality
• Did the description onsite accurately describe the product? I thought it would be really soft from the picture, is is still wool. i suggest doing research and knowing what new zeland wool feels like before buying so you are not surprised.

This rug sheds and sheds and sheds and sheds some more. We could literally vacuum the pieces of wool that shed from this carpet 3 times a day. We have a white 9x12 of this rug in our living room and every corner and all along base boards and into our dining room collects wool dust bunnies. We have had the rug for 5 months now and we are getting rid of it out of frustration.

If you are thinking about purchasing this rug..Stop...It is poor quality and it sheds all the time.. It is not full like the picture shows..Very very disappointed in this rug!!!!!!

This rug is absolutely everything I hoped. It looks gorgeous on our hardwood floors. I receieved it within 3 days. I will be ordering other items at Overstock.com. THANK YOU OVERSTOCK

I just bought a loft and needed something to soften up the look of the concrete floors, and this rug did the trick. It looks great in my new space and feels good beneath my bare feet. My only complaint is that it sheds a little, but that was to be expected. I also didn't comb it like the instructions said to remove the loose strands. Overall a GREAT RUG!

The rug is beautiful. It was the perfect touch and very soft. It will not stop shedding (I mean Everywhere) I was hoping it was a temporary thing, but I am afraid I need to return it.

It is beautiful as a photo prop BUT it SHEDS a LOT!! Still worth having!
