Safavieh Henry Shag Area Rug, Beige, 5 x 8 ft

What reviewers say

Questions and answers

Is this rug soft enough for a bedroom?

Yes. The high-pile shag is dense and plush, which is why buyers use it in bedrooms and cozy living areas. It is less suited to rooms where you need a firm, flat surface.

Can I vacuum or wash the Henry Shag rug?

Vacuum gently with a suction-only setting and avoid a rotating brush, which can pull the pile. Safavieh lists professional cleaning for deeper cleaning, so it is not machine washable.

Will it shed?

Some shedding is normal for new shag rugs and usually settles with regular gentle vacuuming. A few owners report it lasting longer than expected.

What size is this rug?

It is a 5 by 8 foot rectangle, a common size for living rooms, larger bedrooms and under a coffee table. Check your room dimensions before ordering.

Is it good for homes with pets or heavy foot traffic?

Not the best choice. The deep pile traps pet hair and debris and can mat in walkways, so lower-pile or flatweave rugs hold up better in busy homes.

Does the color look like the photos?

Buyers generally describe the beige as a warm neutral that matches the listing. As with any rug, lighting in your room can shift how it reads.
