Garland Rug Medallion Sage Square Rug vs Safavieh Moroccan Tassel Larry Shag Rug

The Safavieh Moroccan Tassel Larry is the better pick for a soft, statement living-room rug: it is a 1.54-inch hand-braided shag with a diamond pattern, tassels and a 4.7-out-of-5 owner rating. The Garland Medallion is the more practical choice for high-traffic rooms and under furniture, with a low 0.3-inch cut-and-loop pile, a non-slip latex backing and stain resistance. Build quality favors the Safavieh for comfort and the Garland for durability and easy vacuuming.

• Choose the Garland Medallion if you need a low-pile, non-slip rug for a busy room, under a dining table or on hardwood where a thick shag would snag and mat.
• Choose the Safavieh Moroccan Tassel Larry if you want a plush, hand-braided shag with a geometric diamond pattern and tassels as a soft focal point in a low-traffic living room or bedroom.
