SAFAVIEH Braided Collection 3' x 5' Tan / Multi BRD314A Handmade Country Cottage Reversible Area Rug

I've been reviewing these for quite some time, here on Amzn & OS. Amazon beats most prices on OS. I'd been hesitant because I already have a few nice braided rugs from Lowe's clearance & they are no longer available, so I've been concerned about them matching satisfactorily. Especially as some had stated that the colors were way off & too bright, while others said they were nice & subdued, matching the pictures quite closely. So I decided to start off with a small throw rug for $19.32, since I wouldn't be out very much that way. I am very pleased with it; the colors actually do match the picture quite closely. It is the same style & construction as my other braided rugs, & and the colors go alright together, so I am indeed happy with it, so now I will be ordering one or two in larger sizes. These are looking quite nice on my newly installed (by myself!!!) bamboo flooring, & also cork flooring. I put on 2-4 coats of polyurethane clear gloss, & the rugs are not even slipping around. Pictures are of the Lowe's rugs as well as these rugs. Actually they look better than they do in the pictures, plus they will not be right next together like that in the rooms. As for the sewn in labels, I don't find that to be an issue: they are attached with very large zig-zag stitches which are easily removed with care.Updated 6/3/2022Well, it is now 6 years since I bought these. I now rate them 3-4 stars. The braiding has snagged somewhat just with normal wear and tear. The biggest problem is the stitching that holds (or not) the braiding together.About 3 years ago my son and I had to take sewing needles and repair quite a few areas where the stitching threads had broken. They only used one strand of thread and it was not very durable thread. That stitching also was a very long spaced zig-zag stitch. Now several more area have broken threads and I really don't want to have to buy all new rugs. It is a pain in the tush to have to hand sew all those areas back together where the threads are broken.There are 5 large rugs total and hardly can they be considered something to just do on one's lap. We had taken them outdoors to spray/wash them, then hung them over railings and sewed them standing up after they had dried out. It was NOT fun!Not sure just what to do.....But I did want to leave an advisement as to the "durability" after a passage of time.

I will need to see how well this rug holds up over time, but it is attractive, seems sturdy and lays flat. I like the colors, too. So far, so good.

Love this beautiful braided runner. High quality, good price.

Talk about getting great value! I love the muted colors, the softness, the way it vacuums up so easily! This has made our living room so much warmer this winter, brrr, our stone floors needed help and this was just the ticket!!

Redoing an old farm house and this fit perfectly. Ordering on the line is not always best for home furnishings, but this time it worked.

We are so happy with the quality and appearance of these rugs. We ordered a round one, for under our kitchen table, and liked it so much that we ended up getting this runner for our hallway near our kitchen. We did, however, buy thin rug pads to put under them to help with durability and to keep from sliding , if happened, on vinyl floors, which also added to the comfort of these great rugs. We are very pleased with our purchases.

the threads and material are breaking and sticking out already after a month, poor quality. Keep shopping

I bought this rug for my daughter's nursery. My goal is somewhat neutral tones with a little blue, green, and peach/ pink thrown in. My other decor is slightly floral and plant-based. This rug was just perfect. The colors are vibrant enough to light up our dark wood floor, but light enough that they don't overtake the room. The fabric is much softer than I expected. After an initial day or so, it laid flat well. I did buy a separate rug mat to keep it from skidding around, as it has no backing or traction. In fact, I'd say it's reversible. It did come with this big "Safavieh" tag sewn in, and I had to get my seam rippers (you could use scissors carefully) out and take that tag off.Also, since it's not the more jute or rough woven material that I thought it might be, my cats don't seem interested in it. I did spray it immediately with some no-scratch training spray I have, so that could be deterring them from it, but even before I did that, they weren't trying to get on it.

Colour in ad true, attractive addition to hallway. Non slip.
