Large Shag Rug

Hello fellow ozbargainers,

was wondering if anyone know where to find rugs at reasonable prices (either online or pick-up/delivery to Melbourne) that's also good quality for a large living room

i'm looking for a rug around 200 x 290 in size and ideally one of those modern-looking shag style along the lines of this (http://www.unitexint.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=44&p…) although i'm not opposed to a low pile rug with a good design

been trying to get one through auction off ebay but somehow always being swiped at the last second and I'm getting a little frustrated at the process

anyone that can offer any lead would be much appreciated :)

also, i would like to know if there are people out there that can help shed some light explaining the types of rug materials (wool, poly, cotton, etc.) how they're different in terms of maintenance/shedding and which is best suited for a high traffic area like the living room

Thank you and happy sunday!

  • Wool is the always best choice followed by cotton. The artificial poly plastic rugs should never be considered due to the health risks they pose. I buy all my rugs from rugs4u.com.au mainly because their prices are so cheap along with cheap delivery yet the quality of their woolen rugs is top notch. I personally recommend this rug:

    I bought the smaller version of this one and is one of the most beautiful rugs I have owned and I just love the smell of it too.

    • What are the health risks of poly plastic rugs?

    Becareful of 'wool blend' rugs that are like 60% poly plastic and 40% wool. If it's a wool blend make sure its a cotton/wool blend not poly/wool.
