My Mother was forever in search for the perfect gray shag rug. The pile was to high, the color wasn't just right, the rug wasn't soft enough. My experience with Safavieh has proven to be a very valuable product and have never been disappointed so I went out on a limb and purchased this rug for my Mother. Well...
it was soft, perfect pile, and the color has a slight mix of dark and light so depending on how the rug is brushed it gives off the most beautiful gray color. Almost a shimmery color. She was so pleased with it. It does not shed and it is in a high traffic area. The color also hides the dirt very well which is important when you have 7 grandchildren coming in and out of your house daily. I would recommend this rug to anyone who love the shag look and wants it to be soft and cozy.
