Safavieh Velvet Hayleigh Solid Shag Area Rug or Runner

I had been shopping for a rug for my living room to keep the hardwood warm against the winter chill. I didn't want to spend more than $150, but needed a good quality rug because it's in a high traffic area. I had first ordered the Safavieh California rug, and the fibers weren't as soft as I wanted. My husband complained that it was too thick so I started searching for more and found this one for a similar price and it was offered in 6'7'' square—which was a better size for my needs. I was skeptical because there were not any reviews, but I received this rug today and absolutely LOVE it! It is SO soft—almost silky, but not slick— and plush. The rug feels like it has a cushion underneath it, but the pile length feels just right. I had thought there might be a variety of colors fibers, but it is a uniform tan. Overall, I am so happy with this purchase! It makes me want to sit on the rug just to feel how soft it is! Great product.

I purchased this rug in white and though it's truly a beautiful rug, I was unable to move my vacuum cleaner over it at all. The shag is not overly long and I put the level of my vacuum on the highest rug setting, but it was still not high enough. I used another vacuum that I have and it also would not move very well over the rug. Had to return.
