Safavieh California Shag Izat Solid Rug

This was a great purchase and if it hadn't been for the many valuable reviews I may have missed out. I'm an interior designer and I know how hard it is to buy online, especially a purchase as large as this. So here are a few Q&As that might help you feel confident with your purchase. Q: Does it look cheap? A: Not at all. It definitely has a nice high-end look. In fact, it looks as if it came from C&B or PB. Q: Is this a good quality rug? A: YES! It is very well made. The backing is completely hidden, due to the ample amount of strands. Q: What is the texture like? A: It's a mix of both thin & medium 1.5 inch stands. Soft and very plush. Q: Is the color a true ivory? A: It was a tad bit darker than I expected. To me it's more of a light cream than an ivory, but it works. Q: What is the backing like? A: It's a quality non-skid backing. Q: What are the sides like? A: Each side is wrapped in a matching tightly woven thread and hidden under the overlap of rug strands. Q: Does it hold it's shape? A: Yes. I fluffed it straight out of the package and have walked/sat/laid on it and it still looks pretty good. Q: Does it clean easily? A: Too new to tell, but if you maintain it properly each week, it should last you a very long time. I hope these Q&As have helped. I purchased this rug for myself, but will definitely keep it in mind for a future design job. Best of luck and Happy Shopping!

wonderfully thick and beautiful color on Safavieh California Cozy Solid Beige Shag Rug

It took me a long time to decide which white shag rug to buy, as between Safavieh and Nuloom there are about a million. What sold me on this one was the picture of a hand sinking down into the super plush fabric- and the fact that it had the highest pile out of all the white shags those two brands had to offer. I bought the runner for my gallery hallway in my bedroom, which at *** at the time was an absolute steal. I only wish I had a full room that would work with white shag! (My bedroom certainly would, but I had already gone with Nuloom's grey and aqua lace Adileh rug in 8x10 (which while sadly has not nearly as much aqua as the photos show, is still unbelievably gorgeous), which goes wonderfully with this runner. I was really nervous when I received the rug and took off one of the cardboard end-caps and got a glimpse of the edge of the rug- it looked like it had sparse, ultra spindly fibers sticking out in every direction, everything I had feared when ordering and dangerously close to how I had always pictured shag carpet until seeing it everywhere when rug shopping- a terribly sparse/matted 70s nightmare. The product photos had led me to believe that shag could be luxurious, even glamorous, and at that moment I thought they had LIED. As I pulled off more tape and pushed down more of the plastic, I became able to peel back a corner of the rolled rug- and to my astonishment revealed the most dense, plush, and yes, glamorous pile! I was so relieved, and so excited to get the rest of the packaging off and lay it out (which will take you a little while-they pack these things WELL). Once I had it all out, I could see that the slightly sparse edges were barely (if at all) noticeable, as they very quickly give way to this gorgeous dense pile that you can sink your hand (and feet!) into. There is this amazingly subtle slight sheen to the fiber that is in no way shiny or slippery (which is what deterred me from choosing the Safavieh Paris rug- that and the fact that it was more of a beige than a white or cream)- it's just this slight luster that makes the whole rug look luxe and rich and almost creamy, like much more expensive materials were used. This rug is seriously amazing, you guys. Unless you are trying to match this rug to a stark white (or stark white with say black or red), modern decor, I really can't see how you would be disappointed. My bedroom is white, aqua and silver, and this goes perfectly with it- though I have a sort of "beachy glam" thing going on, so all of my whites are of varying natural shades anyway. I have bought three Safavieh products for my new apartment, and I can tell you that each one of them just radiates quality and attention to detail. One of the items I bought was one of their handmade wool rugs, and I can tell you that this machine-made, non natural fiber, less expensive rug is given the same amount of care and commitment to quality as their more expensive lines. I'm so happy with this purchase. I have not cleaned the rug yet, so I can't attest to how easy it is to get dirt and debris out of the pile, but I imagine it will take more work than a low pile rug- but you kind of sign up for that when you go with shag. I will try to come back and update in a few months on durability, ability to stay white and ease of cleaning. The one thing I'm not 100% happy with is the length! It is only seven feet long, and I would have happily paid another *** to get it a foot longer. It's just a tad too short for the part of my hallway I'm using it in (I'm not using a rug in the first part of my hallway because I don't want the pile to interfere with the door to my room or the one to my walk in closet). Seriously, if you're on the fence about shag, get this rug.

3 stars. because its a 5 star product with a 1 star color accuracy. Let me explain it to you. So this was a great product per se, but I ordered white and the carpet is not white. I'm a man, so for me white is white. If I say I want white, give me white. The design in my room is black, red, and white. I put this carpet on my floor and it looked dirty. Not to say that it is dirty, but to make a point that it is NOT WHITE. The females in the house were talking about it being bone white or even ivory. I don't know what the hell those colors are but it is not white. Compared to the decor in my room, this was clearly not white. Other than that, its a great carpet. Feels great.

I"m not kidding when I say I have been diligently searching for a rug for 2 years! I had decided in the end that I wanted to go with a shag for our living room but everywhere I looked (and I looked EVERYwhere!) if they were good quality, they were $XXX.XX dollars, if the were affordable, they were crap. I finally found this rug online and felt it was going to be too good to be true. I started at the screen for an hour trying to decide between mushroom, ivory, beige, or taupe. I clicked on taupe and couldn't be more pleased! It's a very gray shaded medium brown color. Simply stunning in my rustic home where I use lots of natural colors that are more on the cool end of the color spectrum. This rug is very plush, thick, and soft. My dog has made it his new bed (much to my demise). I would recommend this to anyone! I can't tell you how happy I am. Also I did not notice any odor from the rug after rolling it out. Had friends over the night after we got it and they didn't notice a smell either. I'm thinking of buying another one in a different color for our loft. Simply wonderful and Affordable!

Safavieh California Plush Rug Taupe color was perfect

I was so impressed by this rug, I've just purchased my third one (for three different rooms). The rug is what I would call completely neutral. I didn't want one too tan or beige and it's not - I have it in my all gray living room and it works great, my baby blue baby's room, and my khaki bedroom. I have purchased other "shag" rugs in the past and was worried about all the shedding but I've vacuumed this one many times and it is on a dark hardwood floor and there is NO SHEDDING! Nothing even in my Dyson. It is soft and feels nice on your feet and is very modern looking. The other thing that amazed me is that we are slobs that eat in front of the tv a lot and this rug simply does not show dirt. It just doesn't. I don't know how and I don't care, it's fabulous. I very rarely write reviews but this rug is exactly what I was looking for and I am still very impressed (again, I bought it three times...)

I love the Safavieh California Cozy Plush Shag Rugs! I have purchased many of these and they are beautiful!! I have my rugs for 2 years and they still look brand new. They are quality and I have been super pleased with them.

The Safavieh California cozy plush rug lives up to its name! This rug is so luxurious! It feels great under my feet. The color is a beautiful blend of greys. I highly recommend this shag rug.

Do not order if you are looking for a WHITE rug...cream, sure - it's a great, soft rug.

While a lot of the reviews are about the color of the rug being cream not white that is the least of the negatives that stand out to me about the rug. First of all its a high maintenance shag rug, and the weave is loose. If you shake it out and don't EVER walk on it, it looks great and will continue to look great with a periodic shaking out. But if you walk on the rug at all, the loose strands will get marled and kind of knotty.Besides that you cannot vacuumed it with a rotary brush vacuume and you have to hand pick any lint or specs of whatever falls into it because as I said, the weave is loose at the base of the weave. We live in a no shoes policy house and this rug was placed at the foot of my bed under a settee.It did not see much traffic and the first 3 months I really liked it. But it ended up looking terrible and full of stuff you can't vacuumed out of it. I don't have time to be constantly hand picking it clean and unless you plan on personally hand shampooing it and drying it outside in the sun, don't bother. Because for the price of having it professionally cleaned I can buy another rug. Actually for the price this is a throwaway rug when youre done with it. And I was glad to be done with it within 6 months.

I ordered this rug after considering the same rug in mushroom, beige, and gray. Taupe is really what I wanted. I was aware that some reviewers thought the rug was darker than on screen and allowed for that possibility. However, my rug looks exactly as it appeared on my monitor. No surprises at all except how much I enjoy walking on it barefoot! Would highly recommend.
