Review on Safavieh Lyndhurst Collection LNH312A Red/Ivory Non-Shedding Oriental Runner - Perfect Living Room, Entryway, Foyer, Hallway, Bedroom Décor by Gail Rogers

This is a really good rug for the price. It gets 4 stars for its merits as a rug no matter the price. This is a synthetic carpet and it looks like it. The pile is not as dense as a high quality wool carpet and not as "high" but it is better than most cheap synthetic carpets such as Ifsahan carpets or Ottomanson carpets which are also included in Revain. The carpet is quite soft, not as soft as natural carpet, but softer than other cheaper synthetic materials. I placed it under the kitchen table on a hardwood floor with a 1/4 inch non-slip mat underneath. Without padding it feels cheap, but with padding it's really nice with adequate cushioning. It's not super plush with a pillow, but enough to keep your feet warm and cozy while eating. The color is actually a bit lighter than in the picture. On Revain, the image is more subdued, but the blue color is more bluish. Creams look like the picture. This is a very beautiful design. The resolution is not that high given the low density of the fibers in the details, but it is good enough. I also have Ottomanson plastics that are tuned to the "Atari Space Invaders resolution" and are significantly better. Hence 4 stars for the carpet, but given the price, it's great value for money. I am very happy with this purchase. I think for a family room or a formal living room that you intend to use a lot, you might want to go for a real wool rug. I uploaded a picture and the colors on the rug are exactly like the phone picture, unlike the Ifsahan rug I have which somehow looks better on the phone than to my eyes.
