I love these rugs. Safavieh rugs never disappoint. I have a 9 x 11 version of these rugs, and to tie the room together, just had to have two more for the front and back doors in the same room.
The colors, soft aqua and soft beige, are just what I was looking for the color scheme I'm using in my redecorating of my living room.
The reason that I only gave the rug a four star rating is the thickness of the rug. It's more of a thin carpet than a rug; however, there is nothing cheap about it. Having said that, they work perfectly in front of doorways for that same reason.
I placed a rug pad under the larger version, but it didn't really give the rug any added thickness. Therefore, I didn't bother adding them under the smaller rugs used in the doorways for that reason.
They are still very nice rugs. I've vacuum the large one once and got a nominal amount of beige fuzz in the bag, but I think that's was just new rug shed. I didn't mare the rug's looks.
I love them and never hesitate to purchase Safavieh!! I have three other rugs by them (two shag and one Morracon), and they are all gorgeous. My husband initially thought the Viscose rugs were too thin, but he likes them after seeing them in the room.
