Quality of Safavieh Rugs from Overstock
Comments (31)Well I just ordered Coleen's blue rug in the runner size for about $90 bucks. I figure this way I can "preview" the rug to see if I really like it and I can always send it back at a much lower fee than sending back an 8x10 rug. I had just bought a blue Oriental runner from TJmaxx that is "OK", but nowhere near as beautiful as this rug. I'll probably end up keeping the runner regardless. I really wish Overstock had one of these Safavieh's with a chocolate field with blue and green accents. That would really fit the bill for me. I keep reading about how fast people get stuff when they order from Overstock. Do you have to do the optional faster shipping for that to happen?...See MoreMy Safavieh rug and Overstock's advice!!!??
Comments (19)Well... I just called Savavieh because of never receiving a response and I wanted answers before I called Overstock. When I got on the phone with customer service I asked to speak with a supervisor or manager. The lady asked what it was in reference to. I started explaining how I sent an email and never got answers back. She finished my sentence and knew who I was. She then said she didn't get around to it yet. (What?) Her boss was out, email is down today, etc. and so forth. I sent the email 5/10 and sent a follow up 5/13 basically saying "no response?" Got nothing. At least follow up and say you need to show the photos to the boss, etc. and you'll get back to me. I'm just glad she was nice. She did mention she has a hand tufted rug at home but said it doesn't look like those photos. I was glad to hear that. - I think. She said her boss was back today and in a day or so she'd have a response back to me. I'm not really sure what they'll even do since I bought it from Overstock but we'll see. - I didn't mention in the email where I got it but said on the phone with her during conversation saying I was waiting to hear from them to contact OS, yadda ya. I'll wait to call OS for now. If it comes down to it I will ask them for a credit and see how it goes. Even a partial would be nice. If they say no, at least I asked. We're finishing the basement at the moment and this rug could maybe go in the office....See MoreQuality of Nourison rugs from Select Rugs
Comments (5)This is an old post but for anyone who is wondering...the rugs that the designer quoted OP for are hand knotted and Nourison ones OP posted are hand tufted. Knotted is of significantly better quality and more luxurious than the Nourison tufted rugs. $25K for two is steep but that is because OP went to a high end furniture store. Furniture stores ALWAYS charge double because they buy from factory direct stores like RugKnots so they have to mark the rugs up to turn a profit. Factory direct will always be cheaper and of the same quality. The hand tufted rugs OP choose are wonderful but they do not even begin to compare in quality to a hand knotted rug. Hand made, hand woven, hand spun= Tufted by machine. The reason marketers get away with it because human hands load the yarn into the machine that makes the rug. They are NOT made by hand....See MoreSafavieh Rug Quality (hand-knotted) - for my FR
Comments (18)Thanks for the votes of confidence! I'm beginning to get nervous spending so much sight unseen--but it's handknotted, a Safavieh, all colors mentioned are on the warm side in my room. It shipped and scheduled to arrive on the 18th. For those following my duvet thread, the paisley duvet also shipped (early, yay!) and is scheduled to arrive on the 16th. Sounds like I have some rug moving to do next week. We're having guests over for Thanksgiving so will be nice to have it all in place before then. Cross your fingers for me!...See MoreRNmomof2 zone 5
