Premium 7069 Country Blue Traditional Rug

Home Dynamix Premium 7069-310 5-Feet 2-Inch by 7-Feet 4-Inch Area Rug, Country BlueWhen one reviews inexpensive (cheap) products, one needs to approach star ratings with that point in mind. What this is not is a twenty-five hundred dollar, hand knotted, imported area rug. What this rug is, is an inexpensive, machine made, budget minded area rug which is imported from Turkey and the five stars given takes the above into consideration.

First impressions: It looks great on the floor. Since it's very thin backed, it does need time to relax when first unrolled. We've had it for a week and it's settling into place nicely. There's still evidence of the little humps an area rug of this type gets from being rolled up tightly for shipping purposes. The rugs, without trouble, have been vacuumed using a battery operated stick broom as opposed to a full size, plug-in upright. I'll take one of the rugs out to the patio and let them sit in the afternoon sun and see if that helps the rug humps relax a bit more.

General thoughts: We bought three of these area rugs. The two we've so far received were the smaller (3'7" X 5'2") rugs. The larger 8' X 11' rug should arrive the end of next week. Before installing (moving furniture) we'll be sure to give it some hot patio sun time. The blue coloration seems fairly close to the online image we saw on the monitor but the rose hue was more of a golden/dark straw coloration. No biggie as the colors work in our living room. We purchased these rugs for their blue/white base color. I'm making note of this coloration point as it may make a difference to some. To me, this is not a deal breaker as the rugs, irrespective of the minor coloration difference, look great on the dark laminate living room flooring.

Insight: We've been buying and replacing area rugs for many decades. We've purchased area rugs at all the traditional big name department and hardware stores so my following comments reflect this buying experience. I find with rugs of this kind, yes, price does make a difference. The main difference found, is the overall thickness of the product. As you walk on this rug with bare feet and transition to a thicker (more expensive) area rug, you can easily feel the difference. We chose these rugs for both available selection in design and price. Before buying on Amazon, we stopped into the orange, big box hardware store where we've purchased many area rugs in the past and what was available was limited to area rugs that were not large enough and there weren't any corresponding, matching smaller sizes. The alternative to what was readily available was to hit the hip, go big and put in a special order at five to seven times the price of what was available; $750.00 $1150.00. Yes, we're retired, budget minded shoppers and this too needs to be taken into consideration in the case of a review of this kind. So after shopping big name stores, it was off to Amazon where the final price for the three purchased area rugs was a rounded, more affordable, hundred and sixty-dollars.

If later, you want to punch up the overall feel (thickness) of the area rugs, you can, at additional expense, add anti-slip pads. Use keyword "rug pad" for an Amazon search. Yes, this increases the total price but remember, for us, it was about available color/design/size/price and overall, this was the best we could find to match our budget minded shopping/home designer needs. Padding, at additional cost, can be added later as funds become available.

Lastly: We're careful users of products of this kind so in my opinion, after a limited week of use, we expect to get many years of use out of these rugs. As long as one is aware of the differences in trim color between monitor vs in person and that this is a noticeably thin backed product, for the price, it's a great purchase we feel looks great on the floor and a purchase we could make again in confidence.

Hope the above helps.

(PS: We received the 8' X 11" rug. The stated size on the product label was: 7'8" X 10'7". We left the area rug in the direct sun on the backyard patio so as to heat both sides via the Summer noonday sun. After about two hours in the sun, once both sides were thoroughly heated, we then brought the area rug indoors for installation. In the short, the rug laid down on the living room floor perfectly. Very happy camper.)

Excellent price for a good looking and functional rug. Visitors will not mistake this for a real oriental rug but it looks great and does the job for what it is. The price including delviery was a great bargain. I highly reccommend this product. And delivery was right on time. All good on this product!

The alternatives at this price point, such as Ikea rugs, are all very aesthetically questionable, and also fall apart pretty quickly. These look quite good and and seem sturdy so far. Great deal for the price.
