Safavieh Heritage Donette Oriental Wool Runner Rug, Blue/Ivory, 2'3" x 8'

Have six of these matching rugs. Have added pads to all of them. Happy with all, wearing well.

Ok so pros: rug is absolutely beautiful. Colors are vibrant and has a very high-quality look and feel. This is why I gave the rug itself 4 stars. Cons: it is noted in the details that there may be variations in the size. This was the case as the rug was 2 inches narrower than noted. Being a small room this did pose a designing issue. Decided to live with it. Worse though, however, is that it says you have to vacuum it 1 to 2 times a week for a while. This is false. I had to vacuum this rug countless number of times over two days. There was nothing short of a HORRIFYING amount of loose fibers. I did not want to leave them there because every time you walk around you would be carrying them around the house and who knows what dyes or chemicals are used. I have a Dyson cordless so you can see what you vacuum up and I emptied the canister easily over 100 times over two days. The attached photo is just the first half of day one of my attempt to clear the rug of loose fibers. Finally decided to start emptying outside because I did not want to breathe in the fibers when emptying. Not sure if this is the case with all rugs but it was exhausting. Rug itself though is gorgeous. You just have to put the work in.
