Safavieh Casual Natural Jute Hand-Woven Chunky Thick Rug - 8' x 10'

This rug is actually jute not sisal. The description says sisal weave which is accurate but if you want a sisal rug this is not it. On the good side, it is very soft and thick. It would go well in a casual setting. On the downside, it contains an extraordinary amount of dust. If you or family members are allergic....beware. I returned it because I wanted sisal and hated the dust.

The rug is the perfect color, thick with a nice texture. Very well made. I liked it so much that I bought another one for my family room!

Love the color and quality of this rug!

I read the reviews and decided I'd give it a try. Bad idea. Looked great at first. Received many compliments. Had a very strong odor that remained. Can't be vacuumed without knots coming unwoven and I use a Dyson. Sheds really badly. I have dogs but noticed I would have to vacuum ever other day due to huge piles forming in corners and under furniture. Its natural fiber also sheds a dark dusty film under the rug. So you have to regularly roll up the rug and clean underneath. Only had for 7 months and it got tossed to the curb. It's a very thick rough rug. One side has deeper knots which should've been the topside. These knots made it uncomfortable to sit on and walk across. Couldn't walk across in heels or it would snag the knots. The fibers also cover your clothing if you lay or sit on it. Hard to get off afterwards. Very rough with sharp pieces in the knots. I have a 1 year old and it wasn't a material I would've preferred. It looked great for the first couple of months until the knots starting coming undone and you have to roll them up and tuck them back in constantly. It was able to handle many spills without leaving rings. The price was the why I purchased it but looking back I would pass on this one for a higher quality. Maybe something with a thinner pile thickness and mixture of cotton/chenille/jute or and indoor/outdoor jute.

This rug is just what we were looking for! I painstakingly read the reviews of every 8x10 jute rug on overstock and took a leap with this one. The other reviewers are right - this rug is soft and the color is just as pictured. Would highly recommend this carpet for those looking for a natural fiber rug!

I read a lot of the reviews and was a little discouraged about buying this rug because of the negative comments. But after taking the chance, I'm SO glad I did!! I've purchased various other jute rugs from Rugs USA, and Ashley's Home Furniture and this one is actually the best quality and price! If you have never owned a jute rug, you will be a little surprised by the smell and shedding, but I promise, the smell goes away and the shedding is much lighter over time. It's well worth it if you want a durable, quality rug with a beautiful look. I prefer this type of rug over any others because they are long lasting and great for high traffic. I have two messy kids under 3! I wouldn't recommend vacuuming these rugs with a high suction because it can unravel the jute. I would recommend shaking it out outside and then lightly vacuuming it with the hose rather than the full vacuum head to keep everything in tact. Overall, I'm very happy with my new rug and would highly recommend it if you are looking for this style! I purchased the 8x10 and it's perfect!

Ok :) I have purchased from O maybe 10x's? It seems that most items are a let down- either with quality, color, paint. I have bought 4 rugs from overstock. One rug I thought was plush- ended up being flat weave. Another very expensive rug's colors were extremely muted, darker than described or shown AND one corner was much lighter than the rest. The third rug's colors were completely off what the site showed. It showed beige and I got chocolate, AND had a 3 in. circle of some blue/green substance dried on to it! I tell you all of this to let you know that when I say this rug is fantastic- it really is! It is JUTE, not sisal. I know this because the rug comes with a care label attatched which stated it is 100% jute. It is a thick rug- 1/2 to 1 inch thick? Nice- however a door might not open over this rug or office chair wont roll ( something to consider). It does have a strong earthy smell to it, which I actually really enjoy because it reminds me of gardening, however I am sure some would find it off. I am sure the smell will dissapate over time. Care instructions say not to have direct sunlight on it. (I dont know why). I love this rug- absolutely worth the money- it is beautiful.

Nice rug color is beautiful

Arrived sooner than expected and packaged very well. This is the perfect rug for my large formal living room. It's big and chunky which adds the perfect amount of texture to the room. Opposite of some reviews, there was no smell other than a barely noticeable natural smell if you stick your nose right down to it because it IS a natural fiber rug. This rug sheds because it's natural. That's just something a person has to consider with any woven natural fiber rug.

After holding this rug in my shopping cart for months, literally, I finally decided to go through with the purchase last weekend. It only took a few days (less then a week) to arrive and I was so excited to see it on my front porch. I am so thankful that we have a covered porch because we had substantial rains all day that day, and I was at work when it arrived. The rug was safely sealed in thick plastic wrap and left in a dry spot on the porch floor. I attempted to move it into the house and unwrap it myself, but it was too heavy for me (sorry FED Ex guy!), and so I had to wait for my husband to get home and help. This rug unpacked and unrolled pretty easily, and laid flat on the floor immediately. I absolutely love this rug - it brings so much warmth and interest to our previously bare living room wood floor. It's very thick with a fairly large chunky or nubby texture that feels great on your feet. I'm waiting for the felt rug pad we bought to go underneath it, which is supposed to be delivered today. I know that will protect the rug longer, as well as add to the springiness under foot. The one surprising thing about this rug, is that it has a strong, natural fiber or grasslike smell that took a few days to dissipate. It smelled a bit like a damp basement. (I also have a particularly sensitive sense of smell, so I might find it more offensive than most.) Now that the rug has been unrolled and in our space a few days, the smell, while still faintly there, smells much more pleasant and MUCH LESS like a basement. I would absolutely purchase this rug again, and recommend it to anyone.

This rug is really beautiful. It is a great addition to our larger living room. I did purchase the warranty and plan to use it as one of the corners has already began to unravel. Other than that, I have three dogs and it has held up nicely. Pretty durable. One thing I have noticed is that it doesn't trap dog hair, smells or dirt. These things seem to pass through which is a good thing if you have floor underneath, the dirt can easily be swept up and the carpet stays cleaner overall.

Highly recommended! One of my best purchases!!! This rug not only looks great, but also feels terrific. That was one of my concerns when deciding whether to purchase it. After reading reviews with some saying it was rough I took the chance as I decided the look was what was the most important to me as a designer. So glad I did because it actually feels great. There is nothing like this jute rug. It lends itself to casual, rustic, elegant and nautical depending on your style. I have had no issues with any shedding or having to cut loose ends off as others have said. Also, no odor whatsoever! It’s absolutely perfect and was delivered within 5 days.

short fibers, many knots that are not done neatly. in effect there are too many huge bumps that are sticking out and when you try to fix them, you see the short ends of the jute fiber .so you really cant tie them up. DO NOT BUY THIS RUG, THE QUALITY IS NOT THERE AT ALL.

Really like this rug in my sitting rm! I have alot of color in there, so neutral looks very nice! The price was great, too!! Ive been pleased with everything i have bougjt from Overstock!

This rug looks fantastic under my dining room table!! It's very durable and great quality! It will last a life time. And....it doesn't smell like other natural jute rugs I've had.

Love this rug. It's a great casual feel to the room. Very durable with 3 dogs!

This rug is a nice natural fiber addition to my living room. I have a zebra rug layered over it an it looks amazing. Slight smell for a few days and some shedding at first but both go away.

Absolutely loved this rug! So much so, I'm ordering another one. I have tried others and nothing compares to this rug.

This was the absolute same jute rug I purchased from Pottery Barn. Thick well made and 1/6th the price! Wish I had found it here first.

more appropriate for rec room than formal use...nice quality

Even though I love natural fiber rug and it went with our decor, taking care of it is a pain. Being natural fiber, it will shed a lot of dust underneath. Plus, if you have dogs (esp, the ones that go potty inside, sometimes), then this is not the rug for you. Can't clean the smell completely. I tried everything, even bought special cleaners for natural fiber rugs. And it starts to discolor very easily. I had to put this one in the shed and buy a new (easy to clean) rug.

Love this rug! Thick and chunky as described but soft and comfortable!

This rug is awesome! It's thick and looks great underneath my new dinning room table. It's thick, durable yet not rough. No smell either that some people were speaking of in reviews that I read before I made the decision to purchase. I'm very please with my purchase!

Great looking rug, but probably needs to go in a less-traffic area. currently in my living room and sheds a lot. Would buy again, just put in a different room.

Fine overall. Yes, would recommend.

Quality carpet that has a terrific feel and look. It did have a kind of oil that came out of it so I was glad that I purchased a rug pad for under it. It did go through to the tile put came right up with a tile cleaner. If this rug was placed ontop of another rug for layering, it would have most likely stained it.

This rug is way more plush and soft than we expected. It’s actually soft! it didn’t have any weird smells, but has been shedding leaving dust. It far exceeds my expectations and we will probably be buying at least one more for the sunroom!

Wow! The Safavieh Casual Jute Hand-Woven Chunky rug is FANTASTIC! Perfect addition to our family room. Many reviews have said there was a natural odor from the natural fibers that lasted about a week - there was absolutely no odor. I opened the rug in the driveway and let it sit in the sun for a few hours. I flipped it a few times and then put in in our family room. PERFECT! LOVE IT!

Looked good at first but then started to shed sand like material and just didn’t feel clean. Too chunky for our family

Really nice, thick rug but not too rough on bare feet. Has sort of a strange smell like wet leaves that has faded over the last week and hopefully will disappear entirely. Great price but I knocked off a star because the rug is already starting to unravel a little and again, it’s only a week old.
