"Great"
I have had these floors for about 3 years. When I first installed them I fell in love. Not much has changed and I still adore my floors. I love the color of them. They are hunter green. They have maintained a decent appearance, considering they are three years old and have experienced lots of wear. Even after spilling on the floor, I was able clean it up. There is still a small stain, but if I do not point it out no one see it. My kids constantly are playing on it. I also have dogs who run around and have fun on the floors. At first my carpets were very spongy and soft, but as the years went on it compacted a bit. This is understandable because my floors receive heavy traffic. The only thing bad about my floors was that customers service. They were hard to work with, but the floors themselves are great. I have never had to repair them and would recommend them to my friends.

"Shaw Brenham: Pleasantly soft carpet for a good price"
I recently installed Shaw Brenham carpet in three rooms and so far I've found it wonderfully soft to the touch. What attracted me to the Shaw Brenham specifically was the price per square foot offered by the retailer, the warranties it comes with, the ANSO stain-resistence built into the carpet and the quality of the carpet. Shaw offers a lifetime stain resistance warranty on this carpet, a 20-year quality assurance warranty and a 20-year texture retention warranty. These are excellent warranties for the price of the carpet.
I found the Shaw Brenham soft to the touch and superior to other Shaw and Mohawk-brand carpets of the same price. I enjoy walking on this carpet barefoot and it does not rough up the feet.
Based on length of warranty and feel, I chose the Shaw Brenahm at $3.04/square foot over the Shaw Truitt-Hall carpet at $2.96/square foot -- which comes with a 10-year warranty -- and the Mohawk Big Shot carpet at $2.67/square foot, which also comes with a 10-year warranty.
I found Shaw's range of carpets easy to determine what's best for my home. I would definitely recommend this carpet to anyone looking for an affordable option for their flooring.

"Apartment Carpet"
I just moved into this apartment about one month ago, so I have had the carpet for no more than thirty days. The things I did not like about the carpet are that it is easy to get a set-in stain. However, I do like the trim against the wall it is seem-less. The carpet feels very bouncy like a cloud to walk on. Those are very difficult to get out. I have never had it professionally cleaned as of now, but I don't think it would need that as longs as I am more cautious. I would buy this carpet again, and try to be more careful with it. I would also tell my friends that it is a very nice carpet to have. This is as close to the perfect carpet as I could get. I am very satisfied with this carpet. I like the way it feels under my feet!

"Plush Luxury"
This past spring my husband and I decided it was time to replace our carpets in the living room and den as my husband was continually duct taping down a floor mat as a "runner" for everyone to step on when they first walked in from the outside. Additionally, now that we no longer have our dog, we decided to upgrade our living room and den carpets to Shaw plush carpeting. We've owned this brand of carpet now for about eight months and we love it. The color we picked was a burgundy color for the living room and an oatmeal color for the den which matches wonderfully with the rooms and adds a bit of elegance to them now that they're finally updated. The plush carpeting is so easy and soft on the feet and there's really nothing to dislike about it. It feels nice and cushy while walking on it and the kids even like to fall asleep on it. No longer do we eat or drink in those rooms though, and guests take their shoes off immediately upon entering. We have not had to have it professionally cleaned yet since we're taking very good care of it. I would indeed consider buying the same brand again or recommending it to a friend, and we're talking about the possibility of replacing the bedroom carpets with this plush material as well.

"Great carpet for the money"
This carpet was installed in my house about four weeks ago and since then I've had no regrets. The price was spot on and competitive with all the other carpet stores in my area. The carpet has a very nice and soft feel to it, not like other carpets that feel like sandpaper on your feet for the first few weeks. Also there was no noticeable "new carpet smell" that makes your house smell like chemicals for a while. My four year old has already put it through all the tests, and it survived! Stains come out very easily, just a little water and some cleaner did the trick. I have not had this carpet cleaned by a professional, and from the looks of things that may be a while, it's just so durable. In a few weeks I'm buying new carpet for the guest room and I will certainly use the same brand again.

"Tan Carpet"
I have owned this carpet for 1 year, I like that it is a light tan color and it has very nice wave designs all over it, I dislike that it feels very rough to walk on and is very hard to clean most of all cat hair oh Mr Henry loves to roll around all over it and get his fur all across my apartment needless to say Mr Henry dose not have to clean it , never had it professionally cleaned but i suppose it is about time it dose not stay clean very well for very long , would not buy the same brand ever again I don't even know if they still sell it at the general store anymore what with times being tough and folks not worrying about their carpet, I would not recommend it to a friend instead i would suggest a birds eye maple hardwood floor Mr Henry loves to run about hardwood floors and his toys slide better on them too!

"I love my blue shaw carpet."
I just got new blue shaw carpet 2 months ago to replace the berber carpet I had. I love it. Its way softer and easier to clean. It does not hold dirt like the other carpets I have had. I now make my kids take off there shoes at the door because i dont want my new carpet to be dirty. We plan on having the carpets cleaned professionally ever 3 months. Our first cleaning will be after christmas. I was so excited when they installed my carpet and I seen how great it looks in my house. I would totally recommend this carpet to a friend.

"A Very Pleased Carpet Owner"
I've owned Shaw carpeting for the twenty years that I have owned my house. Shaw carpets have always held up through parties, moving, pets, etc. The carpets are very beautiful as well, letting me have a greater control of how I want my house to look. I do not dislike anything about this carpet, and I have always admired the quality of it. I have never had the carpet professionally cleaned, as my wife and I always take good care of our house. I would definetly buy from Shaw again. The way that they make the carpet and the showroom I had went to convinced me that they were the way to go. I have recommended this carpet to all my friends, and I recommend it to anyone who is trying to decide on how to floor their home. Overall, Shaw carpeting is the best bet for anyone who wants to have superior carpeting in their home.

"The Carpet That Shows Everything"
I have had this carpet for about 3 years now, it was the carpet that my builder put into the home, and I would have to say, they could not have picked a cheaper carpet. When you walk on it, I feel as though I am walking on rocks and it pokes the bottom of your feet, it also shows everything, I have a cat, a dog, a bay and a husband that spill and make messes all the time, and if you don't catch it right away, well you have a new addition to your carpet. I have had this professionally cleaned once, it look amazing once it was cleaned, but after about 3 weeks some of the stains were back, I called the company back that cleaned it but they told me that it was under the carpet and there was nothing they could do. I would never recommend this carpet to anyone; I think if there is one thing you are going to spend money on it should be your carpet/flooring.

Review:
"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.
