Handmade Classic Kasha Gold Wool Rug (6' x 9')

Good value, overall. Thick rug, doesn't slip. Colors a bit more muted than my computer showed. I thought it would be gold, but it's a muted yellow. Still, very pretty. My big complaint is this rug had a funky smell--old and musty. I've sprayed fabric freshener on it, and it's helped a bit. Still, after a week, I catch the scent now and then. Am hoping time takes care of this.

I ordered this rug on a Tuesday night and it was delivered just as I arrived home from work on Thursday evening. You can't beat shipping price--or speed of delivery (at least in the NYC area). I had read all the reviews and expected that it would have more muted colors than appeared on Overstock, which generally I like. I But the actual rug looked a bit duller and darker than I expected perhaps because of the sheer size and the electric lighting. This morning, the sunlight did not entirely improve the situation. It's pretty. It's plush. And part of my disappointment is my own inability to imagine how the pattern would seem enlarged. It is a busy, and as another reviewer mentioned, will go best with solids (whereas I like a good dose of prints). And the dusky nature of the colors rules out using many bright pure colors, though whites and creams and other pale colors as well as a bright teal (which does appear in the rug) might go well. Also as others have mentioned there is a pinkish color. For me, an additional problem was that I realized when I opened it in the living room how silmilar the pattern I have is to one in the entry hall. The effect is overpowering to have the two near each other. All in all, I think I must put it in a bedroom that gets a lot of light. It is, as others have said, a beautiful rug with a bit of an old world flavor. But I would advise potential buyers to be very clear about what they want--and again I can pretty much identify with most of the reviews I have read. I am simply not going to give the rug a very low rating because I don't love it. I took a risk and I am not sure it paid off. But for the next buyer it might. And for a New Yorker who wants to create soundproofing with a thick rug and pad on hard wood floors, it works extremely well.

This rug is beautiful. I purchased the 6x9 and it's exactly that. The background green is not light green as much as muted, dusty green. And as other have said the border is gold not the yellow that shows in the picture. The colors, although bolder than pictured, have a very nice, old-world look. The quality and workmanship are very good. It's a nice thickness and comfy to walk on. I have the rug on a hardwood floor and I'm not using a carpet pad. It doesn't seem to be moving yet as it is a good weight. The cotton backing is well done. This is a really good value and you can't beat the shipping cost. I've always been pleased with items I purchase at Overstock. Cheers!

I just received this rug and I LOVE it. The colors are way off from the picture - they are much more muted (which is what I was hoping for) and there is a little pink in it, which I was not expecting at all. It was shipped in a roll, so there were no creases in it. The border, which looks gold in the photo, is actually tan. The background is more of a grayish teal than a sage green. The pattern is clear and the rug is very soft. I am very pleased with this rug.
