Basketweave Seagrass Rug (8' x 10')

This rug is gorgeous! My husband bought me the natural color in the 8 x 10 size for my birthday. We put the rug down, and it laid flat just fine. The smell was very slight, and wasn't bad at all. The color is beautiful and earthy. The next morning, I awoke to find that my dog had developed a severe case of diarrhea during the night and mistook the rug for a field of grass. Worst of all, the offensive, dark spots had run into the weave and dried. I was mortified, and rushed to the store to try to find something to clean it. To my horror, upon returning from the store, I found my husband in the driveway using a power washer with a cleaning solvent on it! I literally cried because I was sure he had destroyed it. I've actually seen this man take upholstered chairs to the car wash. He thinks tire cleaner is the answer to all of life's problems. Anyway, to my surprise, the rug dried flat, no mildew or mold, and absolutely no damage to the fiber whatsoever. It looked (and smelled) as though nothing had ever happened. Long story short -- this rug can take a beating! I couldn't be more pleased. And, yes, the dog learned his lesson, and now refuses to even walk across it. Good doggie!

Best rugs I've ever owned! Easy to keep clean. Love them so much, I bought them for every room in my 5000 sq. ft. home. House always looks clean and neat. Can't beat the price of the rugs or the shipping...thanks, Overstock...you did it again !!

You can't beat the price and value with this rug. The initial smell is NOT unpleasant and it goes away after a few days. The texture is deliberately not smooth b/c of the basketweave. I love the texture on my feet and it is no trouble to walk on, but you can't lay on it to watch tv if you are using it in a den. The benefit of the texture is that the rug hides virtually everything. Stains are easy to remove if they even show at all. Daily dust, dirt, pet hair, etc... do not show. I am slowly switching all my area rugs to seagrass b/c of this. Just fyi, I ordered the natural tan color and it is definitely NOT a light cream like the picture. It is a neutral tan that blends nicely with the color of the rug. This rug looks great on wood floors. I've also ordered the runner with a black border for a bathroom and it is really sharp looking. Just fyi, I've ordered the glam-bordered rug also sold by overstock before and highly prefer this rug. I'm not sure if I was sent a defective one or not, but the glam-bordered rug had a weave of three to one as opposed to this rug's weave of three to two [I prefer the tighter thicker weave for durability and stability of the rug]. Also, the rubber backing on the glam border seagrass rug is starting to disintigrate whereas the rubber backing on this rug [as well as the black-bordered rug I use in the bathroom which gets wet repeatedly] is still going strong. LOVE THIS RUG. Much cheaper than anywhere else. Wish they sold a 9' by 13'!

I bought this rug three years ago and I couldn't be happier with it. It is in our living room and it takes a lot of abuse, yet it somehow still looks brand new. I have 4 kids and two dogs and they have spilled EVERYTHING on it. Most recently an entire bottle of fruit punch gatorade. I thought, this is it, they finally destroyed it. Miraculously, it came out with soap and water. I can't recommend this rug enough!
