beautiful rug but sheds a ton!
This rug is gorgeous and looks like it's just made for a family room or playroom. However, it sheds so much that you need to vacuum it every other day to keep fuzz off of your child and his toys. Not sure why a "family" rug would be made of wool which is not conducive to high traffic areas. I love it, but I'm returning it b/c I can't vacuum it everyday.

Sadly, this rug smells awful...
Very disappointed about this purchase. 1) Design-wise, the rug arrived and is notably less colorful than in all the online photographs. Colors are more muted & it's not as easy to read "Family" as appears in the pictures. But I still love the concept & the design. However, considering that it's a "family" rug theoretically designed for a home with kids...it sure is white...and extremely easy to get dirty. One trek across it left footprints, so we started taking our shoes off in order to keep the rug clean. Not ideal. And lots of wool piling too.
2) There was a distinct odor that smelled like cat "water" coming from the rug. Customer service told us it's because it is wool...but we have had other wool rugs that did not smell like this one. We returned it and got another one (hoping it was a one-time problem!) because we loved the look of the rug so much...but the odor was really unbearable. Maybe it's chemicals from the rug's backing? We did not try an odor eliminator because we didn't want MORE chemicals in our home and we weren't sure whether that would work.
Ultimately, and reluctantly, we returned it (twice). Customer service was terrific. I love the design of the rug but wish it had been both more practical (dirt-wise) and hadn't smelled the way it did.

great rug
Well since I did not win the Novogratz this seemed the next best thing. I bought it for my niece's playroom/guest room and it looks great, love the colors and feels great under foot. A perfect jumping off point for the rest of the room It had a bit of an odor when it arrived which necessitated several applications of 'odor eliminator" which my niece enjoyed spraying - maybe a bit too much!

Fun focal point
I picked the FAMILY rug to build the rest of the decor around in a sitting area off of our main family room. I LOVE the bright colors and the rug is top quality.

My Dream Rug!
I have been waiting for this rug since I saw it featured on Home by Novogratz. I was elated when I saw they were offering it through CB2! This is an AMAZING rug - feels so great under foot. The price couldn't be more reasonable for the quality. It makes such an inviting, colorful statement. It has so much to say that we like it without a coffee table. We have it in front of the pool movie sofa - a match made in heaven :-)
