Rug Review

Never flattened out rug never looked completely flat.

Didn't like it
cmihalski Feb 24, 2010

When I received the rug, I didn't like it at all! It just doesn't look nice.....it looks like something that would go in a barn or garage.

A great value, looks fantastic
spdnyc from New York, NY, Feb 21, 2010

I ordered the green bordered rug, and was very pleased when it arrived. As I was hoping, the green is more sage than neon, as it looks in the above photo. Like a few customers mentioned, there is a burlap-like odor when you first open it, and the edges do stay cured up. I reversed rolled for a half hour and the rug laid flat...and sprayed very lightly with Febreeze and and the smell was gone in two days. If you get very close to the rug (like when I do pushups on it), you can still make out that faint grassy smell ... but that's literally when my nose is 3 inches from it. Yes, it is actually jute... but I should mention that the rug is very soft under my feet. Don't hesitate to order this. Overstock had it to me in 3 days, and it certainly beats lugging home a much more expensive option from the store.

Nice rug
jillm75 from Del Rio, TX, Jan 31, 2010

This rug is exactly as it's described and I am very happy with it. I got the black border so can not comment on if the colors are correct. It looks great under the kitchen table.

As nice as Pottery Barn
cingraham2003 from New York, Jan 29, 2010

Ordered the black border rug as black and white seems very in right now. I've always wanted one of these rugs and thanks to Overstock, the price was right. Using under my kitchen table and surprised with how soft it is. Ordered rug on a Sunday and delivered Thursday night. Wonderful service/quality....also ordered 8'x10' seagrass rug for my dining area. No need to pay Pottery Barn or Ballard Designs prices...this is it!

Great quality

I'm very happy with my new rug, looks great, delivered quickly, no hassles. I decided to get a matching 8x10 and am very happy with that too!

Very nice rug
wildsight from Santa Cruz, CA, Dec 17, 2009

As usual, I am very pleased with this purchase from Overstock. The rug is beautiful, elegant, simple, and a great value. I love the orange border. It really brightens up the room.

Just what I wanted
angie3347 from New York, NY, Dec 9, 2009

This area rug was exactly what I was hoping for. Besides a little expected shedding seen in the border of it ...it's great. It 's still new, so I'm sure once I've vaccumed it a few times it will be fine. This is really good quality for the price. I reccommend it.

So Dissappointed!!
imustbehonest1 from New york, NY, Nov 27, 2009

I really HATE to complain...but I was SO VERY disappointed with this rug!IF it wasnt that I would have had a lot of trouble trying to return it..I WOULD have returned this rug!NOT only was it "irregular" in many areas on the surface, showing, BUT it also said it was "hand-woven" when I Do NOT know HOW it could have been hand-woven when it was so rubberry and ugly feel..I actually would like to throw it out!! Real JUNK!!!I really hate to be negative..believe it or not..this is the very FIRST time I have every gone out of my way,to comlain online!

Hand-woven Alpen Border Sisal Rug (5' x 8')
krnrn from Vienna, VA, Nov 27, 2009

Great value; delivered within a week. Purchased two - one for rec room (over existing rug) other for my son's bedroom. Feel is softer than traditional sisal; comfortable to walk on in bare feet. Only have had for a few weeks so not so sure about durability - but is is certainly filling the need! Looks great - a wonderful option at a great price.

A great buy!
psykat99 from New York, NY, Nov 25, 2009

Great looking rugs at very very reasonable price. We bought three to cover our living room and foyer areas. Looks neat and very easy to vacuum.

Perfect match
marilynmaccleary from Summerville, SC, Nov 20, 2009

Love the rug. Goes well with colors in my living room. Only problem, it has slight ripples - can't get it to lay completely flat.

Just what we needed
ablackfo from TX, Sep 16, 2009

I chose this rug to go in our breakfast nook. It came when promised, and the color and texture were as advertised. The backing is great as it doesn't move when we move the chairs in and out from under the table. The only drawback is - the fabirc border is a magnet for pet hairs. But that is easily remedied. I would purchase another of these in a different size if the need arose.

Love The Rug . . .
bettertomorrow from Mobile, AL, Sep 9, 2009

I bought this rug for an ongoing renovation project so I haven't actually put the rug down; but, upon receipt of the rug I did inspect it. I loved the border color (it was exactly as presented) and the workmanship appears to be very good. So, from what I have seen so far, I am very pleased with my purchase and looking forward to putting it to good use.

Love it!
oscarandpenelope from Los Angeles, CA, Aug 12, 2009

I've been wanting a sisal rug for a couple of years, and when I started shopping at Overstock.com and found this, I just had to have it. This rug fits in perfectly in our small dinning room and is everything I've expected of a nicely-made sisal rug, except that the cats don't scratch it, which is a nice surprise.

Love It!!
meash03 from New York, NY, Jul 16, 2009

This rug gave my room a natural clean look. It does a slight smell when you first get it, but it goes away after a good vaccuming! It really bring the outside in and gives any room you put it in a since of calm.

great rug
momoxan from Los Angeles, CA, Jun 25, 2009

I bought this rug for my sons room - I was very glad I had read other reviews and took the advice about getting the black border. I can see how a lighter color would get dirty with lots of traffic. Also agree that the texture is much softer than I would have thought - fine for bare knees and bare feet! I think the rug is a solid value - it arrived just as promised.

area rug
dixie66 from Bottineau, ND, Jun 19, 2009

I love my new area rug. I wanted a spring/summer rug for my family room and this rug is perfect.I also wanted a rug with some yellow to accent my family room colors. The yellow trim in neither too dark or too light , but just right.

Lovely with some issues
cherliz from New York, NY, May 27, 2009

I purchased the beige border on this rug and was pleasantly surprised to find it softer than expected underfoot. Sisal/Jute doesn't hurt your feet at all and I love that. As much as I like the rug I have to say that over time I am experiencing some pulls and nubbing on the border. I trim it with scissors at least once a week. The beige shows every tiny bit of dirt or dust so choose black if this is also an issue for you. Also, a rug pad is absolutely necessary. I didn't have one for a week after I purchased it since it comes with a pretty sturdy rubber backing. However, it never stayed in place and laid flat until I got the rug pad. At under $100 you can't really go wrong so I do feel satisfied with this purchase.
