I bought a couple of rugs that I'm very happy with from Overstock.

Were they tufted? I found one I like there, but worry about the shedding.

Crazy, but I was just trying to recall where aktillery bought her beautiful rugs, because my DD is looking for a new, reasonably priced one for her bedroom. I think it was esalerugs.

I think esale rugs is universally liked here. That may be where aktillery got hers.

And to add I’ve used rugsusa and been pleased.

About 2 months ago, I bought 2 Safavieh rugs from Overstock, neither tufted. And I'm quite pleased.

Pudgedar, were they wool or polypropylene? I can't find any Safavieh wool rugs on Overstock that aren't hand tufted.

DD recently bought 2 rugs from RugsUSA and they are lovely. Take a look at their website.

Many on the discussions side like esale rugs. I’ve not ordered from them but like the fact return shipping is included. I’ve ordered a few rugs from Home Decorators. I have some tufted rugs and have never found shedding to be a problem. They had 8x10 wood rugs at Costco yesterday. I liked the pattern and felt like buying one just because they were so inexpensive. Couldn’t figure out where I’d use it though.

E-sale rugs is fantastic. I have several rugs from them. I also have several from RugsUSA and Overstock, all wool. My experience over the years with Savavieh rugs has been very mixed. I loved the colors of one I had but it shed so terribly that it got nearly bare within a year (and the sheddings were everywhere). I like Nouristan and some other brands better. I have hardwood floors and oriental rugs throughout the house.

I'm all over the place with this. Didn't want to spend more than a thousand. Found 2 at Esale ... one wool, one polypropylene. Their free return shipping makes buying very enticing. I'm going to keep looking, but so far these are in my cart:

If you aren't sure which one you prefer remember to use the order in a smaller size trick. Returning a 2 by 3 or 4 by 6 is much easier than a 9 by 12. A wool 9 by 12 is heavy!!!(ask me how I know!)

I like the second one a lot; it is more unusual and kind of delicate?

I like them both but that first one is sharp.

I bought my wood tufted rugs from Overstock. The 8' one is wool/silk and did shed for a while but it wasn't really all that bad. The rug still looks great after maybe six years or so. I have a small wool rug in front of my kitchen sink and it didn't shed as much. Still looks good after a year. My other rugs are polypropylene. Probably different brands but some of my poly ones don't look as nice as the others and are just more thin. My bathroom poly rugs became worn looking very quickly. They came from JC Penny's. The one by the door is by Shaw and that one looks like new still.

I think they are both quite nice but I prefer the 2nd one, which to me, looks way better and more authentic. Clicking on the links, I clearly know nothing about rugs!

While both are nice, I think buying wool is worth the extra cost. They wear like iron! There is a difference between hand-knotted rugs and hand-tufted rugs. If you really have your mind set against hand-tufted rugs, which are the more affordable of the two, then polypropylene might be a good option. Are you in it for the long haul or do you plan to replace it? So much depends on your preference.

Second for me, atypical design which I like.

As much as I like the design of the second, it's polypropylene. May order it in a 2x3 just to see what it feels/looks like IRL. In the meantime, I'm going to check a couple local stores and keep looking online.

OutsidePlaying, did you recall where aktillery bought hers?

Aktillery bought her rug at esalerugs Here is the thread. Scroll down to her post.

HauteLook (a division of Nordstrom) often has rug sales. My aqua living room rug came from there (3+ years ago). Sometimes, they have higher quality, sometimes average. It always pays to comparison shop. Mine is a brand name, so I was able to compare it.

Bonnie_Ann, thank you! I bumped the thread with a post.

Dhygarden, doesn't look like HauteLook has anything larger than 7x9.

Thank you for posting this CindyMac - I am really having trouble finding a rug for under my kitchen table. I dont want to spend a lot either. I have tried rugs that are not wool and they stained far more than wool IMHO, so I prefer wool. it might have been the particular rug I had, but I dont want to risk it again. I am not finding many deals on esalerugs or erugs. in the past there have been some really low prices! going to heck Hautelook and joss and main too. good ideas :)

I know this sounds crazy, but check Home Depot on line. We found our rug there and have been extremely (and surprisingly) happy with it. They have a huge huge selection. Prices were reasonable and you can always put it on their card for 0% financing if need be.

ETA: Another option, depending on what you want, go to a carpet store and have something bound.

Lukkiirish, not crazy at all. I was looking at Home Depot and found the same rug I have in my Overstock cart. It's been there for over a month as I've watched the price go up and down. This is driving me nuts.

Oh, I like that one a lot, it’s really pretty CindyMac. I saw last night that it was on sale but still priced a bit higher at Home Depot. :c( I’d still buy it from Home Depot though only because if it were damaged or I didn’t like it in person, I could return it to the store and not have to deal with the return shipping. My situation was a tad different in that I saw our rug first at the store and when I wanted a bigger size, I was directed to the site. Before pulling the trigger, I called their customer service line and was pleasantly surprised at how helpful they were. I had an eye on ours for quite some time and it would go on sale fairly often as a special buy. If you decide to go this route, maybe next time the price will drop more.

ETA: I think the one you have in the cart at Overstock and HD is much prettier than the two above. Those two don’t appeal to me at all.

What’s keeping you from pulling the trigger?

I love that rug (red) from HD!!!

Cindy, I love both of the rugs you just posted. Very nice! I have bought many rugs from overstock and have always been pleased!

I still have the Overstock rug in my cart, but for now I've ordered the polypropylene one from Esale. If I don't like it return shipping is free.

Aktillery, I posted a rug question to you on the Home Decorating side. I noticed you purchased polypropylene a couple years ago. How do you like it?
