SAFAVIEH Milan Shag Collection Area Rug - 8' x 10', Ivory, Solid Design, Non-Shedding & Easy Care, 2-inch Thick Ideal for High Traffic Areas in Living Room, Bedroom (SG180-1212)

I ordered the 8’6x12 in Ivory. Because of the weight, we had it delivered with Amazon’s $15. inside delivery service, which was also perfect. They brought it inside and opened it so I could see the backing and the fibers. They were careful, respectful of my home, took their time and made sure I was happy with it.This rug is so thick, soft and luxurious, I love walking across it with bare feet. Very good quality. No problems with it lying flat or uneven edges. Although it’s listed as Ivory, it really is a true Cream color with a barely perceptible hint of a warm undertone. It’s a perfect color match with a Smith Brothers Cream Chenille sofa. The price was amazing and less than a quarter of what I would expect to pay in a fine furniture or carpet store. The only drawback is not being able to use a vacuum with a beater bar, but we purchased a small, inexpensive shop vac for use with all of our rugs.

This is not my first rodeo with shag area rugs. I had one a few years ago in Ivory, made by another manufacturer. It looked great when it was new but after several months use, it became matted and discolored in the traffic areas of the rug. It was a total loss, the color had actually turned gray where it was matted and no amount of carpet shampooing made any difference. It ended up out on the curb, and someone actually took it! Lol. Anyhow, when I received this one, I could tell a big difference right away, it was heavy, really heavy.As I unrolled it, I couldn't believe my eyes, it has to be the plushest shag I've ever seen. Like $$$$, but I only paid $$$. Wow! It's beautiful and top quality!I read reviews about off gassing? What the heck? If you mean new carpet smell, I love the smell of new carpet, to me it smells new and clean,kinda like New car smell... but maybe I'm a weirdo? It doesn't have much off gassing smell anyhow, in my opinion.Now on to the color. Maybe it's subjective, or in the eye of the beholder, but this color called dark beige looks more like cocoa brown, or even taupe, and it's not really dark, it's kind of light actually except where the shadows make it look dark in places...hope that makes sense. It's got a beautiful sheen to it too.If your making a decision about color, this is what I'd call a safe color that will go with anything. I like it a lot, but I did like ivory better in my living room, but was apprehensive to go with that color again after my first experience. Had I known how good this carpet is I might have.It's a winner! I have pictures to prove it! Buy it!UPDATE!I have purchased the same rug in the color grey. Since I wrote this review, I purchased a new home, and have been here for a year. I brought the original rug with me, but I was getting a little tired of the color, and the rug itself was starting to look a little tired. It could have probably been revived, because it wasn’t worn out, I was just ready for a change.I’ll say the same thing about the grey color as others have said. It’s a wonderful blend of grey and taupe, or beige, they call it greige. I’m posting pictures of it with my wall, floor and furniture colors. My wall color is called Gallery Taupe by Behr. My floors are kind of a taupe/grey blend and the couch is grey. I think it looks really great together, although I accidentally ordered the 5x7 size instead of the 6x9 size I had originally. It works, but I may go bigger next time. This is a very well made, quality rug, but I’m a person that likes change, so I plan to swap these out to different colors every couple years. Still very happy with the product!The first 3 pics are beige the last 3 are grey.

If you are sitting on the fence in questioning the other rave reviews about the absolute quality of this rug - and for the amazing price - you'll want to go ahead and hop on over to join the rest of us that pulled the trigger on this beauty! Lol, it is truly more comfy and plush on the other side ;)I can't say enough about the density of the weave, the beautiful pile, and it's ability to take your decor to a whole other level.I purchased the 6x9 in the Ivory, and it is a very pretty shade - not that dark yellowing effect, and not so light that it borders on white.And, the specs were exact to size.The rug arrived rolled in a very dense plastic factory seal - and sealed very well at that.There were also thick booties on both ends to protect the edges.You have to give major props to SAFAVIEH; as they obviously put as much thought and quality into their packaging as they do their products.I have yet to have ordered anything from this company that did not meet or exceed my hopes and expectations.Needless to say, I am totally - TOTALLY over the moon with this fantastic find.Just do it!

I’ve had this rug in my living room for over two years now, and it still looks great! I have two floofy cats who shed everywhere so I’m constantly vacuuming, and not to mention the rug has survived many wine spills during girls nights! It’s so plush I often find myself lounging on the floor instead of the couch… HIGHLY recommend!

I absolutely hate washable rugs, they are the worst invention especially if you have pets that shed. The fur clings to those type of rugs and vacuuming does nothing, also if it’s a big area rug you aren’t going to fit it in your washing machine, so what’s the point of it being washable? So when I threw my washable rug away after only owning it for a few months I vowed to never buy another one again. So I spend countless hours scrolling through Amazon trying to find a normal area rug. I came across this one. Great reviews and I like the Beige color. It’s a bit pricy but it is so worth the price. It’s thick, plush and it doesn’t have a velvet texture those washable rugs do which means no cat hair will cling to it. We used our Shark Navigator vacuum on it with the beater bar on and it vacuumed very nicely. Highly recommend this rug.
