The BERTHMEER 8×10 Shag Area Rug is a tall-pile floor cover sold through Walmart’s marketplace. Buyers can choose solid gray or one of several checkered colorways, in sizes from 3×5 up to 9×12.
This verdict is built from the listing’s spec tables, its care text and the brand’s own website. It is research, not a wear test, so you get specs and trade-offs rather than months of use.
In short, it suits a bedroom, dorm or rental better than a busy entryway. The listing also sends mixed signals in a few spots, and those deserve a look before you order.
What It Is and How It Is Built
BERTHMEER sells this shag through Walmart’s marketplace, where outside sellers ship each order rather than Walmart itself. The brand’s own website does not stock it, because that site carries a different range of printed rugs.
The listing details add up to this.
- Pile: listed between 1.65 and 1.75 inches, varying by color
- Material field: PVC, according to Walmart’s spec table
- Underside: sponge, with grip dots on some colors
- Sizes: 3×5 up to 9×12, plus a scalloped-edge beige 8×10
- Looks: solid gray or checkered
- Cleaning: spot treatment only, per the care text
- Packing: folded and vacuum-sealed
In the listing photos the strands look long, smooth and faintly shiny, a fur-like finish instead of a looped carpet texture. The listing gives no weight for the rug, so the pile height and the sponge underside are the main clues to how it is built.
The brand’s website offers little background, with no founder, founding year or headquarters named. It does publish a support email, a phone number and its shipping and return policies.

Sizes and Colors
There are seven sizes. The 3×5 is the smallest and the 9×12 is the largest, with the 4×6, 5×7, 5×8, 6×9 and 8×10 in between.
Gray and Neutral Gray are the solid choices. The checkered choices are Brown White, Beige White, Gray White, Black Brown, Mocha Brown, Navy Blue and Green.
Neutral Gray reads dark: the listing photos show deep charcoal, not light gray. Gray White is the softer neutral if you want a lighter room.
Price changes with both size and color, and marketplace stock moves as well. Check the current price at Walmart for your exact size and color, and keep in mind that not every combination is available.
Where the Listing Sends Mixed Signals
The page disagrees with itself in several spots. That does not make the rug bad, but it changes how you should read it.
- Washing: some spec tables claim the rug is machine washable and one says it is not. The care text rules out the washing machine, so go with the care text.
- Color: the solid color carries different names in the title, the option menu and the spec table. Trust the photos over the labels.
- Material: the field says PVC, an odd entry for a fluffy rug, while Nefoso’s listing names polyester. The listing text alone cannot confirm the fiber.
- Pile: the solid gray listing shows 1.75 inches, and the Beige White checkered one shows 1.65 inches.
- Grip: the product images promote a non-slip backing, yet the listing mentions grip dots on only some colors.
Use the spec table as a rough guide and rely on the photos and care text. This page quotes no shopper ratings, so read the newest reviews on whichever Walmart listing you pick for fresh feedback.
Who It Suits, and Who Should Skip It
Choose this rug when a deep, textured pile and generous coverage matter most.
- Good fits: a bedroom, a guest room, a dorm, a rental or a corner where kids play.
- Skip it for: a spot with heavy foot traffic, a desk area where office chairs roll, or a smooth floor where you do not plan to add a rug pad.
Dining rooms are a weak spot for any long shag, since crumbs settle into the pile and chair legs drag across it. Choose checkered for the pattern that defines the line, or solid for a calmer look.
The 3×5 suits a bedside or an entryway, and you can compare it with the larger sizes by browsing BERTHMEER’s rugs on Walmart.
How It Compares With Nefoso
Nefoso is a comparable 8×10 shag sold on Walmart. This table lines up the two listings.
| BERTHMEER 8×10 | Nefoso 8×10 | |
| Looks | Solid or checkered | Solid only |
| Size range | 3×5 to 9×12 | 4×6 to 9×12 |
| Fiber on the spec sheet | PVC | Tufted polyester |
| Pile | 1.65 to 1.75 inches | 1.7 inches |
| Underside | Sponge, with grip dots on select colors | Non-slip layer |
| Weight | Not listed | About 11 pounds |
| Washing machine | No, per the care text | No |
| Return window | 90 days | 90 days |
On paper the two are close, since each is a long-pile shag that arrives compressed in a vacuum bag. The difference is disclosure: Nefoso names its polyester and gives a weight, while BERTHMEER lists a sponge layer and a PVC entry with no weight.
Style separates them most. Nefoso offers only solid colors, from pale gray and blush pink to dark brown, while BERTHMEER adds checkered patterns and a 3×5 size.
Pick BERTHMEER for the checkerboard look or the smallest size. Pick Nefoso if you prefer one plain color and want the fiber and weight spelled out.
Setup, Care and Returns
A vacuum-sealed shag needs time to settle, and the care text keeps the routine simple.
Day one
The listing’s instructions are brief: shake the rug out, lay it flat in its final room with the pile up, and wait several days for the creases to ease. The brand’s website FAQ adds that placing furniture on the corners helps a rug flatten sooner.
The listing calls the rug odorless, yet a day or two in a ventilated room is a sensible step for any new rug. If creases remain after the wait, check the return terms while they still apply.
Cleaning and sliding
Keep the washing machine out of it. For dust, the care text suggests a low-power vacuum and a slightly damp cloth. Switching off the brush roll and moving along the direction of the pile is a sensible extra precaution.
For a spill, press a cloth onto it to lift the liquid instead of rubbing, then treat just the spot with cold water and a mild detergent. Let the rug air-dry fully before anyone walks on it.
On smooth floors, a pad trimmed just inside the rug’s edges helps keep it in place, and furniture legs on the edges add an anchor. Grip dots are listed for only some colors, so plan on a pad rather than counting on the underside alone. With pets in the house, brush or vacuum often to keep hair from matting into the pile.
Returns
On the listing details, shipping and returns were free, the window ran 90 days, and the rug could go back to a Walmart store. Delivery is to a home address only, and terms can differ by seller and listing, so confirm them on the option you choose.
The brand’s own website follows separate rules for the printed rugs it sells: a 30-day window from delivery, with return shipping paid by the buyer for a change of mind. No written warranty appears on the Walmart listing or on the brand’s site.
Questions Before You Buy
Can it go in the washer?
No. Some spec tables say it can, but the care text advises against machine cycles because they may shorten the rug’s life. Spot cleaning is the listed method.
What is it made of?
Walmart’s material field reads PVC, over a sponge underside that adds grip dots on some colors. The photos show a long, fur-like pile.
How long do the creases take to relax?
The listing says to unfold the rug somewhere flat and wait several days. Judge the result after that wait, not straight out of the package.
Will it slide on hardwood or tile?
It may, since the listing mentions grip dots on only some colors. A rug pad is the simplest fix on smooth floors.
Which size works for a living room?
Measure the space first. The brand’s FAQ then points to an 8×10 or a 9×12, with the front legs of the sofa and armchairs resting on the rug.
Does the brand’s website sell this rug?
No. The website carries a different range of low-pile printed rugs, so this shag is sold through Walmart.
The Verdict
The BERTHMEER 8×10 shag is a large, tall-pile rug with a distinctive checkered range. Its appeal is the pile, the colorways and a size run from a small 3×5 up to a 9×12.
The trade-offs show up right on the listing. The spec table contradicts itself in places, no weight is given, and smooth floors call for a pad.
If that profile fits a bedroom, dorm or rental, BERTHMEER’s shag rugs on Walmart deserve a look. Compare sizes and colors there, and confirm the current price and the return terms for your exact option before ordering.
