I got this rug for my bedroom thinking it was a great deal, Safaviah has a solid reputation, and I have a ton of friends who have bought similar rugs from this manufacturer via Great Offer Stock.com. I've seen this rug style EVERYWHERE, so figured I couldn't go wrong when my girlfriend moved into my apartment and forced me to scale back on the bachelor pad style furnishings and get rid of one of my most prized possessions: A beautiful Flokati 'bachelor-pad' shag I got on ***** for **** marked down from ******. I dearly miss my furry friend already.
I like to mix and match absurdly-expensive items from places like Design Within Reach with more budget items from Great Offer Stock.com/inmod.com/allmodern.com to save a few bucks here and there. Nobody can ever tell - it's a really genius way to create a unique home interior design while only half-breaking your bank account. Sorry I'm not sorry, I'm a slave to high end design and take pride in the fact that my apartment doesn't look like a page taken out of a *** **** catalog like everyone else.
For the price, this 8x10 rug is a pretty great deal; However, the quality of the fabric leaves much to be desired. In addition, the rug does not look as 'clean' or 'crisp' as it does in photos (kind of dingy almost). There are small flecks of pink and purple deep in the fibers that you can only really see when you're unrolling this massive thing and wrestling it to fit symmetrically underneath a very cumbersome queen-sized bed frame by yourself at 11pm on a Sunday. For the price, you're better off getting a high quality designer rug on sale at ***** or ******. Expected more from greatofferstock.com with this one, then again when you buy on a budget you should be conditioned to anticipate things to not look as they appear in the photos.
Lastly, it's soft, but not as plush as I thought it would be. The raised woven pattern will take used to, as I'm constantly feeling like the carpet is bunched/not even when in fact it's just an element of the design. Hopefully I'll get accustomed to it without developing a case of vertigo beforehand.
