"Shaw carpet is top notch"
I've had my Shaw carpet for about two years now, and I absolutely love it! We chose a "frieze" (or twist) style, which combines twisted fibers in different lengths. It has a rumpled texture that doesn't show footprints and hides dirt like magic! Mine is a solid color that has held up very well--no fading even in direct sunlight. I had to have it steam cleaned (rented a cleaner at the grocery store) after my nephew's birthday party last year--lots of spills and things ground into the carpet by their feet. It basically looked like new after the cleaning unlike my previous carpet that would shed fibers when just vacuumed! My previous no-name carpet also had "runs" where a long thread would come loose from the backing. This doesn't happen with the Shaw carpet, because it has a special backing that keeps each fiber firmly in place. We paid more for the Shaw brand, but overall it was well worth it, and I would definitely recommend this brand to anyone.

"Timeless Truth Carpet is truly timeless!"
We have owned our Shaw Timeless Truths carpet for approximately 15 months; we had it installed professionally in our living room and dining area. Both rooms have the Cypress color. This carpet is very comfortable to walk on in bare feet or socks; it's not irritating to the soles of the feet, or even to my toddler's hands and knees as she crawls around on the carpet. There really isn't anything that I dislike about this carpet, actually; we got an excellent price and the color is gorgeous. It really goes with our furniture, and the pattern of the carpet provides some visual interest without dominating the room or clashing with anything else we have there. We would definitely buy this carpet again; as a matter of fact, we're probably going to redo the carpet in our master bedroom within the next year, and are planning on using the Shaw Timeless Truths carpet up there, too. However, we will probably go with a different color in the bedroom, since our color scheme is different in that room.
We have never had this carpet professionally cleaned. However, we do own a home carpet-cleaning machine, and I use that several times a year (usually before company comes over). The dark color of our carpet hides traffic dirt well, but has not faded at all even with repeated cleanings with our carpet cleaner. It's absolutely colorfast, and I anticipate that it will stay true to its beautiful color for many years to come.

"Great Look & Sturdy"
We have had this carpet for over 10 years and it has worn beautifully! The fibers are still sturdy with no matting and the carpet feels as good as the first day we had it installed. The only downside we have experienced is after we had a new furnace system installed we couldn't quite make the carpet patches work when the old vents were- the carpet just doesn't seem to blend well, but as long as you don't try to patch the carpet yourself I don't see an issue! We did have the carpet cleaned a few times and it worked like a charm. I plan to buy new carpet in a year or two to replace the color of our current carpet, and definitely plan to purchase this brand again!

"Love my floor!"
We had Shaw carpet installed in our master bedroom when we added on to our house. We got a dark tan color, so three years into our new living space, we still have no stains! It is absolutely the softest carpet I have ever walked on. I vacuum on a daily basis as I have small kids, and this carpet still looks brand new. I use our steam cleaner on it every 5-6 months, and it holds up very well. It hasn't matted down like lower quality carpets do. Even in the most commonly walked areas (like from the hall to the bathroom), it hasn't worn down or become fuzzy at all. It has held up to stains very well. We've had sick kids on it, and so far, we haven't found any stains that wouldn't come up. I always figured plush carpet would hold dirt and debris worse than a Berber type carpet, but this doesn't at all. Once I vacuum it, I know it's clean and I don't have to worry at all about the little ones rolling around playing on it. Very resilient carpet, and if we ever get rid of the tile in the rest of our house, I wouldn't consider anything but Shaw for the rest of our home. Easy to maintain, looks great, holds up to traffic, what more can you ask for in a carpet?

"Shaw Carpets are very durable"
I am writing a review on the Shaw carpets that I purchased several years ago for my house. I have had these carpets for four years now and they have held up very well. There are many things that I enjoy about Shaw carpets. For one, they come in a variety of colors so I can pick my favorite ones. I also like the fact that they are easy to clean with a decent wet vacuum. I have yet to make any lasting stains on the carpet, even though I have spilled several different things on the carpet. There are not a lot of things i do not like about Shaw carpets. I would like it more if my carpet was a little bit softer, but it is still softer than most other carpets that I have felt before. I have had the carpet professionally cleaned once before and it went very well. The carpet looked as if it was new afterward. I would buy Shaw carpets in the future if I am ever in need of another carpet. In conclusion, Shaw carpets are of high quality and I highly recommend them to everyone.

Review:
"A good Shaw carpet for your office"
I would like to review my Shaw Viking carpet that I bought at the local Home Depot. I wanted to get some new carpet for the office and decided on this carpet. I decided to have it installed by the home service group that Home Depot offers. It was like 27 dollars per room so it was pretty cheap. Over the year or so I have had this carpet, it has been okay. I only say okay because of the wear issues it has. I do have a lot of people in and out of my office. The wear isn't super bad or anything, but you can notice it. I did after about 6 months. I know I should of gone with a heavier carpet but I was on a limited budget. I have had the warranty people come out and if it gets worse, they will replace it for free. If you would ask me if I would buy it again, I would if I didn't have the money for better stuff. If you do, go with the heavier Shaw carpet.

"Carpet I wouldn't Buy"
I have had my carpet for about 5 years now. We built the house we are currently living in and hand-selected the carpet for its stain-resistant features and price. I have to say the only thing I like about the carpet is where there is absolutely no wear (under the sofa, etc). The stain features are non-existent and the carpet has tremendous wear patterns. We have had the carpet professionally cleaned, self-cleaned and it just has not held its value like I would have expected. I can assure you that I will never ever buy Shaw carpet again. It has left a bad taste in my mouth, a bad smell in the carpet and an eyesore to boot. Take my advice, don't buy Shaw unless you know what you're in for.

Review:
"A peaceful dream for a peaceful carpet"
The Shaw carpet I had installed in my workout/yoga area over a year ago is a pretty good carpet. I went with the Outdoor Peaceful Dream design that you can find at many home improvement stores. Even thou this carpet is designed to be outside, the 100% Olefin makes it pretty good for heavy use. The carpet comes with a 10 year quality warranty and a 4 year fading warranty. The feel of it can be a little stiff if you have to sit on it at first. Your best bet is to buy some really thick carpet padding for underneath it and everything will feel fine. I really like the UV protection that comes with it. My room has lots of windows and I was worried if there was too much sun, the carpet might fade in places. So far nothing seems to be off color. I would tell you if you need a good heavy duty carpet for your yoga area, I would go with this carpet series. I just love it and most carpets that Shaw makes.

"Fast Carpet for People With Little Time"
I have installed some new carpet in the office and I didn't want to go with the normal one color pattern. I decided to use carpet tiles from Shaw. The type of carpet I decided to go with is a Berber. I used two colors which are chocolate and berry. Since I just had a cement slab, I just pulled off the paper backing and glued them down. I really liked the install process, which took 4 hours to do a 10x15 office. I also like the feeling of the carpet on my feet. There really isn't anything I don't like about the carpet. I have had the carpet down for about a month and no issues. It is very easy to clean so you don't have to worry about that either. I would highly recommend this carpet for anywhere in your home. The model numbers are 3W05300710 and 3W05300800.

Review:
"Just Ok carpet"
The kind of carpet that we have in our home can only be describes as just ok. Maybe it was the installation that is at fault or we just had just ok carpet, either way I think some things wrong. The carpet is nice and I must admit has lasted through our babies spills but I think we will be looking for some new carpet soon! We have Carpet in all colors as each room has a different theme. Purple, tan, green! But after cleaning it just seemed never to go back to the same brand new good carpet that was first here. Maybe its the amount of padding but I think it would've been done a lot better. In the end The carpet has its good and bad times but I think carpet should be changed every few years anyways. So maybe its just time for the carpet to go anyways!
