SAFAVIEH Natura Collection Area Rug - 6' x 9', Ivory, Handmade Wool, Ideal for High Traffic Areas in Living Room, Bedroom (NAT620A)

It’s made out of the best rug material (in my opinion), I prefer wool over anything else for the added cushion, warmth, durability and ease of removing stains. It does shed. If you can’t handle little fibers floating around your house then don’t buy wool rugs. I don’t mind the extra sweeping/vacuuming because I love natural fibers. This rug is surprisingly very soft for wool! I’m not sure how that’s possible because I always find the wool a little scratchy on my legs but this one is so soft and my young boys love laying on it all the time. I’ve had it a few months now with no problems. It’s so thick and expensive looking! So happy with this purchase.

This rug is absolutely beautiful and looks very high end. It sheds like crazy but I honestly didn’t mind since it eventually subsides but I did have to return the rug after realizing my toddler was allergic to wool. Didn’t know before ordering this. As long as you don’t have a wool sensitivity, highly recommend!

1/15 Update: My dog just threw up on the rug and I cannot get the throw up out from between the "knots." I had overlooked the stain that I could not get out because scrubbing ruined the loops but this I cannot overlook. I have rolled it up to take to the dump. Vacuuming -even with my new vacuum - could never get anything that fell through to the loops. So, I guess my dog did me a favor. It was a constant nuisance to try to keep clean. No one should be able to review this until after 30 or 60 days. As another reviewer, said "it is great until its isn't." Dang. Don't think it won't happen to you. There is no way it cannot happen - unless it is in a place where no one ever walks on it and never needs to be vacuumed.Here’s my update- I had thought the strands of this rug would be vacuumed away. They are pulling partially out just from walking over the rug and regular use. Vacuuming with just suction- no beater bar allowed- is not helping to clean it up. The deep loops catch debris that cannot be vacuumed out even with our brand new high dollar vacuum. It is looking like the strands are matting and is unsightly. The fifth photo shows the unmatted loops and the last photo shows the matted loops. I worry to think what this will look like in a month, year, etc. I do not I can no longer recommend this rug.Former review and upon initial use: This is a fantastic area rug! It is an amazing value for the rug (10x14) and even more amazing is that it is wool. It is super soft, the color mildly variegated (Silver), and exactly what I was hoping to find but didn't think I would (a neutral rug with texture). It is softly modern and looks quite expensive - Arhaus type look and feel. We did vacuum it immediately to get the stray strands off and shedding isn't a problem - nor is there anything noticeable on yoga pants. Being wool, I look forward to having this rug for many many years. I am thrilled to have purchased this rug and recommend it highly. Oh and the last picture is of the back of the rug. I realized, if ever needed, I could flip it over and have a new rug!

This rug looks great and feels great on your feet. I needed something fairly neutral but not boring. This fit the bill perfectly. Very nice construction.

This rug is so great!! I agonized over whether to buy it or not for our daughter’s room and I’m so happy I did! It looks and feels expensive and is so soft.

I really like this rug. Yes, it still smells a bit like a wet dog weeks after placing it. Yes, it sheds like a dry dog. Yes, if I hadn't bought a glass chair mat, it would begin to look like the pics in one-star reviews . Yes, it will be hard to clean ,and it came with some weird bits of who knows what woven into it. But it's substantial, it's beautiful, it's natural fiber. It was worth it.

The looks and quality is lovely! I don't know how well it will hold, but based on what I witnessed so far crumbs and little things get entangled with the knots of wool. It sheds a lot. The good news is that it is under my bed so is not a hight traffic area. It looks high class for sure. The only problem and reason I give 4 starts is because it stinks...I contacted Safavieh support line and pretty much they answer let the room air, but there is nothing I can do to improve the stench. I left it in the garage three months before transporting it into my bedroom and still smells terrible. Even my husband doesn't like the smell. What is the smell like? It is a mix of rope/sack+wet dog. Not fun. I just painted my bedroom walls a week ago, I purchased a new bed, have a piece of furniture that smells too. All these things don't even come close to the strong smell of the carpet. So, even though is natural, beautiful, and maybe not polluted with a ton of chemicals, my goodness the smell is an assault for sure to sensitive people like me. It is not the nice scent of sheep wool. It is just strong rug mixed with wet dog, 😂. So, if you are insane like me when it comes to your nose sensitivity beware that there is no way to improve the smell. It cannot get wet, baking soda is prohibited, sunlight is not recommended, not suitable for the garage...Update: After running and air purifier, ceiling fan and opened windows in NC winter for a whole week, finally we were able to entre the room and sleep the entire night. The smell has improved 70%. There is hope with this beautiful rug.

I loved it when I bought this rug. It was vibrant and feels great under your feet. But it sheds. A lot. I had chows that shed. Now I have a rug and runner that shed. From normal use, there are two of us, it stretches like a wool sweater. This rug and runner are not even 6 months old yet, and it's wearing, the colors are fading in wear areas. Just seems a bit soon for this to be happening. I wouldn't buy this again.
