"Showing wear and hard to clean"
The seams in this carpet are terrible - Already showing wear lines after less than 6 months. Worst decision I have ever made. Exceptionally hard to clean spots.

"OK if you don't walk on it"
Not only does Quiet Comfort III show every footprint but it is a dirt magnet. In one year it is dirtier than my previous carpet which I had for 20 years. I followed the 13 step laborious stain remover process suggested by Shaw and bought their stain remover to no avail. Shaw customer service wrote "This is an ultra soft luxury carpet which can require more attention than standard carpet... Daily vacuuming of the traffic lanes may be necessary." Daily vacuuming! Who does that! I now have runners down on very section that sees traffic. It is not attractive. Btw warranty is valid only if you have the entire house cleaned every 1-2 years. I bought this through Costco and really expected a better product.

"Shaw dealer in Denver"
There is a dealer of Shaw flooring and carpeting in Denver named Floors Free, Inc. It is owned by Bryan McGlasson who has owned a string of essentially one-man flooring companies in the Castle Rock, Colorado, area including the failed flooring sales and installation company Direct Flooring and Design, Inc. Watch out for this guy. I've seen him work and he just slams in the work. Do your research thoroughly before you hire him. I will never use him again.

"Ask your sales person to educate you before buying"
Make sure you do your own research before buying any flooring and understand your findings. I bet every single one of you who left a review on this site did not know what he/she had bought. Shaw has been in business for a long time, it is the biggest flooring carpet manufacture in the world. Do you guys think if they only make bad carpet would they stay for that long.

"Warranty service"
We had Shaw carpet installed 5 years ago and it began to stretch immediately. I did not think to call Shaw and see what they could do. I was thrilled to see how fast they wanted to work with me. They sent out an inspector and he determined that it was not installed properly. They said they would have it done for me. I asked them if they would like me to help find an installer near me and they were very receptive to my help. I found Empire Carpet in Indio Ca and an estimator came out right away and within two weeks an entire crew of men came out to move furniture and reinstall carpet. It is clear to me that Shaw was correct and it was not installed properly. They paid for the reinstall and I could not be happier. Elaine Parker at Shaw Carpet was amazing and I would recommend Shaw carpet to my friends. You just have to learn to be kind and patient with people and they rise to the occasion. Thank you Shaw Carpet and thank you Empire Carpet.

"Backing detaching, Granules clog vacuum"
We purchased a new townhome recently. We have lived in our home now for 7 months. Our carpet looked good on day one, since then there has been a drastic decline! This is to say the least. We have the "Simple Times" Shaw carpet. This was supposed to be top of the line. At least that's what we paid for... Yea right! The $6000 + carpet is coming apart! The glued mesh backing is detaching from the wool carpet. I pulled a piece back and noticed the glue granules from the mesh backing were like sand everywhere. This is what was in my back me bag. I kept hearing the gradual shoot up through the tube. I figured it was dirt... Yeah Right! Not only have these granules been clogging my vacuum, I'm replacing the bags more $$$. I called the company and they came out. The inspector was really nice. He told us he wouldn't put this "crappy, low quality carpet" in his home. The manager at Shaw came out to investigate the carpet... We've been waiting now for a month and 1/2 to hear back from him. This is crazy! We're calling tomorrow! We want our $ back so we can get some quality carpet for less. If we don't get the results we deserve were taking actions = law suit, BBB and going to the local TV station 5 on your side! Why is it that quality is so damn hard to find these days? And does anyone stand behind the truth anymore? I'll be updating you with the end outcome...

"Delivery system"
Total lack of control over their delivery system. No accountability from anyone on when product will be delivered. Tell you one thing, do something else. Can not tell you when, what day, if drive changes his mind, too late in the day, what ever the excuse. Warehouse management is young kids with no ability to help in any way. I only order it when I have to.

Review:
"The worst!"
Year old carpets are worn and matted. Very low foot traffic. Shaw will not stand behind their product indicating the carpets were tested and it's not their problem. I caution anyone looking at Shaw carpets - - horrible product, horrible customer service, horrible warranty, don't stand behind their product. I wish I would have did my research and read reviews before I purchased. I hope I can help someone else with this review!

Review:
"Bad experience... Matted immediately."
Purchased Shaw Angora 2 and paid more for this than my engineered wood hand scraped hickory for our newly built home. It started matting 3-4 months from the time we moved in. Shaw's resolution was to vacuum 3-7 times per week and get a rake. FYI It's not a shag more of a plush. Very dissatisfied.

Review:
"Never again"
Bought from H.D. Which was the first mistake. After 2 1/2 years carpet started to fray at the seams and coming apart. Also has some lines running through where there is no seams. Called customer service ,sent out a so called independent inspector said carpet was fine. Installation problem. H.D. Came out and re-glued, now a big line down middle of living room with fraying. My first carpet was Mohawk which lasted 17 years,replaced because of fading due to the sun here in Florida. Will never buy a Shaw product again.They look for anything not to replace a bad product. Junk!
