What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the rug's exceptional softness, luxurious feel, and aesthetic appeal, describing it as cozy and transformative with a thick knitted texture and neutral creamy color. Many highlight its visual impact and magazine-worthy appearance. However, a substantial group reports severe, persistent shedding that vacuuming cannot resolve, with fibers covering floors and furniture. Some also mention premature wear, deterioration within months, or durability inconsistencies. A few note chemical odors or sizing issues. Despite shedding concerns, most customers find the softness and look worthwhile, though durability remains a significant drawback for many.

Gorgeous, but the shedding never ends.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This rug is so pretty, the cream color and braided pattern is everything. BUT, i’m giving it 3 stars because it sheds SO much!! The instructions advise you not to vacuum with a beater brush, but you definitely have to vacuum it, otherwise, you walk onto the rug with black socks, and walk off the rug covered in white fibers. I would not put this rug in a nursery, or anywhere a child would crawl. They’ll get too much wool fuzz in their mouth. Tha...

Soft and Cozy

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this rug! It’s exactly what I wanted to make my bedroom feel cozy. It’s soft yet seems durable so far. I haven’t experienced any shedding. I didn’t use a pad and it doesn’t seem to need it.

Hard on the feet, rough, and sheds like crazy

Would Not Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If I could give this rug 0 stars I would. I think Rugs USA may be selling multiple SKUs under this name, because my experience does AT ALL not match the several great reviews. This rug has shed so much, even after a thorough vacuum, my floors, counters, etc. will have fibers all over them the next morning. The texture of the rug itself feels more like jute than soft wool - it is hard under my feet and uncomfortable to walk on (think of walking ...

Wears poorly

Would Not Recommend

Beautiful at first but after a few days the wool is gray, tangled and looks worn. I would love a refund to buy any other type of rug. Would not recommend.

Just what I wanted!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I envisioned a soft, chunky sweater rug for my laundry room and this rug is perfect! It’s soft to walk on and looks beautiful. I don’t think I would use in a high traffic area but for the laundry room it’s perfect.

Great purchase!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The rug is just as advertised. It’s thick and sturdy - not flimsy - and lays flat. It is good quality and doesn’t shed like one I had before. I can recommend it.

Great addition to living room!

Would Recommend

I wanted to make my living room less formal and more inviting, and this rug helps achieve that vibe! It's a warm color that blends well with my hardwood floors, but the texture adds an organic element that helps ground the room. It was the finishing touch for my living room and accomplished all that I hoped it would!

Love it!!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So soft and love the color. I haven’t had any problems with the rug shedding. I did get the premium pad so maybe that helps.

cutie rug but SHE SHEDS

Would Not Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I never write reviews but I feel compelled to let everyone know this rug SHEDS! I am constantly vacuuming white fuzzies, you'd think I have a fluffy cat or dog to accompany me. I do not. It's a bummer bc it's so cute but yeah - beware. the. shed.

Surprise!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very surprised by this rug. It did not look like it had big loops in it. It is very soft and gels great to walk on. I am concerned that the loops will snag or come loose though. Very different and everyone really loves the look of it. Think of a blanket knitted with very large wool strands.

This is a miss for me

Would Not Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I hate to say it, this rug is a miss for me. Yes, the fibers are soft but the knit is not super comfortable under the foot nor to sit on. It pills easily and sheds a lot. It looked cute for a couple weeks but is definitely not made for daily foot traffic. This was in my son's nursery.
