Safavieh Vintage Distressed Boho Rotka Oriental Rug

I have this rug under my dining room table. It is thin, however, being that it's machine made, I expected that and for me, a thinner rug is best under a dining table. There are 2 main colors of this rug - beige and ivory. Depending on how you position the rug, the nap will select the predominant main color. Also, if you want more beige or more ivory, you can move your hand against the nap and your preferred color will show. The accent color is navy blue - not grey, not black - but a true navy blue. The rug is NOT shiny when on the floor. Positioned under my dining room table there are places where the rug shows the ivory color and places where it shows the beige. The overall look is a vintage look...shabby chic. There's also a slight "overdyed" look to the rug. For its thinness, it is soft. Time will tell it it withstands vacuuming and food spills, etc. Overall, this rug is priced extremely well for the value.

This rug is beautiful and SO soft. Exactly what I was looking for. Like other reviewers said, the rug appears lighter, more ivory colored, from one direction and more of a cool light beige from the other direction. The pattern has different shades of greys and taupe. Knowing the rug is fairly flat, I ordered the Mohawk Home Dual Surface Non-slip rug pad in the same size as the rug. The pad was about 4” larger on both sides than the rug, which was an easy fix by cutting to fit. Overall, very happy with my purchase and would recommend this rug to others.

This is the 3rd Safavieh rug I have purchased, and while they are all very thin this one feels a little more push and softer than the others. I had one of the others professionally cleaned, and it is definitely not as soft as it was pre-cleaning. The colors are subtle and tie the room together well. It also spot cleans fairly well...although because it is thin the area you clean may feel a little rougher than it was. Overall I think that these rugs are a great deal for the price. I don't use a rug pad because the area I use them for is mainly under furniture - but if you plan on using this for a room where you will be sitting on the rug you may want to invest in a rug pad. Lastly - the rug I received looks much different than the picture in the listing. I'm almost wondering as I write this if I didn't receive a different rug as it doesn't look very distressed - but I still love how it looks in the room.

While quite a bit lighter than expected, the rug was still pretty. It was a soft silky finish, not plush, which was fine with us. Now, just a year later, the silkiness is gone and the fibers are clumped together, making the rug look really old and worn, even in areas with no traffic. It has been VERY stain resistant-- I was initially worried about such a light color, so it definitely has that going for it, but I'm afraid that does not outweigh the fact that it now looks old and cheap after only one year. It was certainly affordable, so my lesson is now learned.

The quality is good with a decent, soft pile. Coloring and pattern was as it looked online. It rolled out almost completely flat on arrival (a sign of quality) with the exception of a slight rise on one end that became flat on its own the next day. There was no overwhelming smell of chemicals either (another sign of quality). I've been walking back and forth on it for two weeks and it doesn't show signs of immediate wear meaning traffic patterns are not affecting the pile. I'd buy another from this maker.

Nice rug, but darker than the image shown. The pattern is really pretty and it's very soft. Overall, I like the rug. Just wish it were a bit lighter. But on the upside, stains won't show as much.

This oriental vintage rug is striking and so much like the photos, its a great quality and has a great feel- the color is spot on and for a great price.

There is good and not so good qualities of this rug. The good: it’s a very light neutral color so it would not clash with most decor. The colors (you can barely see them or the pattern) are a cream color background and the pattern is a grey and blue and maybe black. I personally love the pattern and the colors. Not so good: It’s a very thin rug. I am using a 1/4” rug pad underneath but I could have maybe used a 1/3” or 1/2” pad. The pile height is very low. There is barely a pile at all. It almost reminds me of a tapestry. This rug has a nap. If you vacuum it, you can see all the vacuum marks. You can see the pattern in one direction, but it’s faintly noticeable in the other direction. Overall, I love the lightness of this rug. I wasn’t going for bold. I wish it was a little thicker. I’m keeping it though.

I've had my eye on a rug like this for years and finally was in the redecorating stage and ready to pull the trigger. This rug is gorgeous for the price. Pros: SO soft, beautiful color palette, great price for the size/quality, hides dirt very well (we have two back dogs) Cons: has a sheen to it from some angles that might turn off some buyers (gives it a slightly more synthetic look, but for the price something has to be slightly off, right?), thin (but its softness makes up for the thinness in my opinion)--it still feels luxurious.

I have a few rugs in this color and design in my new home and I absolutely love the look, soft feel, and thinness.

Doesn't look cheap! Soft and exactly as pictured.

Highly recommend this rug for anyone who's in the market. It has beautiful gray tones and a soft plush (but not too plush) feel. I also love that it's base color looks creamy white at one angle and darker gray at another angle.

Very pretty rug. Contemporary and vintage at the same time Sort of thin however

We spent a long time looking at rugs and chose this one. However, upon opening, I noticed that it had 4 wrinkles (perhaps not tight enough during packing?) that would not come out even though we tried to let it rest and even tried to vacuum it after. The color was also much more muted than it was shown in the images, to the point where it looked kind of muddy.

I looked and looked for a rug to go under dining table. The subtle pattern is very pretty and versatile to suit many styles. Comparable in quality to higher prices rugs. It lay nice and flat as soon as unrolled. However, a couple corners are tending to pop up. It's the area that gets the most traffic. Anyone know of a quick fix? It is on hardwood.

We bought this rug in time for Christmas and at first were surprised by the thickness - a bit thinner than we expected. However, it holds light traffic extremely well, doesn't shed, and the color - although a bit more "white and black the we hoped - blends in with earth tone hues. The photo on the site had a slight cream hue to the rug, but in reality it is more gray-toned. Overall we are extremely satisfied with the purchase and would recommend it.

This is my 4th rug and this time it is a keeper. The first 2, same pattern, were light grey, but had significant teal tones. The 3rd rug was to be grey/ivory. It is charcoal and significantly teal. It is going back today. O was very helpful in getting my clients dinning room the way she can love it. Thank you!!

The rug is a beautiful beige / cream color and it has a pretty sheen to it. It is not thick or heavy, which is what I was looking for. The only issue I've had is getting the edges for lay down flat. I have used heavy books and even tried to iron them. Now having this rug since last Thanksgiving, the corners still come up a little.

This was very poorly made. The nap turned brown when touched and left discolored lines. The rug was very thin and pattern very faded. I liked the cream color until it was touched. No I would not recommend. Returned.

Beautiful color, very neutral. It does have a little blue gray in some of the details but it still works well with my color scheme. Add a rug pad as this is a thin rug.

This rug is just as pictured. It is a neutral look that will work well on dark stained floors. great in our bedroom with brightly colored walls.

Nice material. Soft. Exactly as described

Love this rug. Bought two sizes and three hallway runners several years ago. They have held up extremely well and are just beautiful.

I love this rug! Previous reviews said it was darker than the picture, but I found that the darkness or lightness of the rug is directional. One way it's a bit darker grey - the other way it's a beautiful lighter silver grey. It is a thin rug, but other true oriental rugs that we have in our home are on the thinner side. Some reviews said it was 8ftx11ft, mine was 8x10 as stated in the description. It's a beautiful rug - I love-love-love it!

color is misleading, it is a dark rug
