SAFAVIEH Himalaya Collection Area Rug - 5' x 8', Ivory, Handmade Wool, Ideal for High Traffic Areas in Living Room, Bedroom (HIM413A)

I’m happy with this wool rug. I have steam cleaned it twice now (once every 6 months) with regular steam cleaner solution. One oxy clean carpet cleaner and another of “resolve” brand. Nothing special. It dried in about 2-4 hours which was faster than other rugs. Really happy about that. It didn’t lose color or discolor at all with steam cleaning. I had some full vacuum canisters for the first few months which I really don’t care about. The carpet doesn’t seem to have lost any volume/density. It didn’t lose fluff onto our clothes or socks during that time. I really like the edges and how they don’t catch or roll up at the edges in my high traffic homestead/farm/rural home. I’ve had other rugs that are good quality catch at a corner and my family just will not leave it alone. I’m so glad this one stays down! I have a run-of-the-mill shark rocket vacuum I use on it. It doesn’t really fluff up when I vacuum which would feel satisfying but it gets clean and not much dust underneath like most rugs collect. So it seems to be cleaning thoroughly. It is soft which was a must since we lay down on it a lot and my husband play wrestles with the kids. I loved the value/price. It has done very well with our big dogs on it and even the cats decided to give it some good hearty scratches and it still looks good.

This rug has a great design and looks beautiful in my home, complementing various spaces like the kitchen, hallway, and entryway. It adds a warm and neutral touch that blends well with dark floors and modern decor. However, the rug comes with a major downside: it sheds a grotesque amount. The shedding is constant and really becomes a hassle. The fibers come loose easily, and I've found them clogging my robot vacuum frequently. It gets stuck, and I have to clean it out constantly, which is frustrating and time-consuming. If you plan on using this rug in high-traffic areas or rely on a robot vacuum for cleaning, be prepared for it to be a continuous issue. Overall, while it looks stylish and soft underfoot, the shedding is a dealbreaker for me, especially when it leads to so many cleaning issues. Edit to update: its been over 3 months and the rugs have not stopped shedding. My robot vacuum get stuck and jammed within a few passes from the fibers falling out. There's fibers all over my house from the rugs. My regular vacuum is full just from going over 1 or 2 rugs. I just cant anymore. I look like im covered in fur and its all the loose fiber from the rugs. The rugs look extremely worn down, probably because all the fiber is falling out just from walking on the rugs.

This is a beautiful, thick rug. The color is definitely true to the pictures and not the “gray/olive” name. It is a muted blue/teal with ivory and flecks of olive mixed in. The blue is more evident in natural light, but I’d always call it blue and not gray. It will go well with beiges as well as grays, and could blend with most blues that you may have in your decor. It’s soft and quite neutral, for a color. The pattern will likely hide stains pretty well. Quality seems great. Really happy with this!

We're really happy with the way this rug looks in our family room. It's wild to go from a cream-colored rug to this blue/olive rug, and it somehow makes the room brighter. It seems to be of pretty decent quality. The size and appearance are accurate. I will say it's not the most pleasant rug to let your skin touch, so you'll not want to be laying down on it with shorts for too long. It sort of feels soft to the touch, but then it gets a bit itchy/uncomfy after a bit. The rug is holding up pretty well to our dog's stretching and playing, though there are a couple spots where his nails caused a little snag. But again, the rug looks great and we are very happy with it at this price point.

Good quality rug, but I bought the ivory color and I found it too dark, nothing that I was expecting. Very weird tone!

Very comfortable and great value for a wool rug. Does shed some but not that bad. No smell Update: Two years in and the rug is showing wear. Still pretty good value, but plan on it lasting well for ~2 yrs.

Beautiful colors and soft yarns but it sheds horribly. We wonder if there will be any rug left soon. Really disappointed. Can’t sit on it or vacuum because it pulls all the fuzz out all over.

Great rug. Color true to description. Very heavy and durable. Does NOT have rubber backing which works well to allow the rug to breath. Heavy so no slip backing is not needed. We bought to use in our rec-room with a concrete floor.
