great rug for high traffic area
 from Alabama,  Mar 25, 2010

I ordered this for myself. My sunroom has a lot of trafffic, human and canine. I found it impossible to keep a "wool" carpet clean. I ordered this one and received it the second day. Very speedy. I put it down and had no trouble with it having wrinkles, I got the orange boarder, that really made it pop from the wooden flooring. My dogs love to rub their backs, eat their chews..and the hair and crumbs are not visible. A quick run of the vaccum and it's clean as new. One puppy even spit up on it and with a little spot remover, it came right up. I did crumple a newspaper under the wet to protect the wooden flooring. The carpet dried quickley and left no marks on the flooring or the carpet. I just put an order for another one for my computer room. Can't beat the price.

alpen bordersisal rug
 from norfolk,va,  Jul 28, 2010

I am very plesaed with the 2 red bordered sisal rugs! The color is more cranberry than Valentine's Day red which was what I wanted. One did take about a week to flatten out. My husband complained about the odor but spraying with Febreeze for a few days helped with that problem. And our 2 cats are being really good about not sharpening their claws on the new 'grass' rugs. The dining room chairs are leaving dents in the rug so the 2 will have to be switched every so often.These rugs stay looking cleaner when you vacum every other day.

great rug
 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.

great rug
 from Brooklyn, NY,  Apr 29, 2008

great rug--great PRICE! ordered it for a high-traffic area (under our kitchen table) and it is perfect for that. Only nitpick is, I wish I had ordered a different-colored border; the orange border got dirty-looking within one day...get a black border if this is going in a trafficky area! but otherwise, a great rug. Even feels good under bare feet...

Great buy!
 from Atlanta, GA,  Mar 6, 2008

I'm extremely pleased with this purchase. It arrived quickly, and looks great. There is a a nice rubber backing also on the back of this rug which helps keep it from sliding and moving all over the floor---I was going to buy a rug pad to help keep it in place, but with the backing, that is no longer necessary. It makes it an even better value.

This is a fabulous rug! I had done previous research and knew this was the type of rug I wanted, but felt like I was taking a chance without seeing it. The quality of the rug has met our expectations; however, the color is definitely a bit more burgandy than red. I think it flows nicely with our red couches, but it is definitely a different shade. The sisal is not rough, but actually fairly soft and comfortable on bare feet.

Do Not Use on a covered porch!
 from Collingswood, NJ,  Oct 7, 2011

I purchased two of these rugs for my outdoor covered porch. They were beautiful when they arrived. However, the yellow cotton border faded immediately. The cotton border also ripped and mildewed. They are both trashed already - didn't even get one season out of them Do not use these rugs outdoors, even in a covered area.

Perfect for our den
 from San Antonio, TX,  Aug 18, 2011

Purchased for our den. Wanted a bit more warmth to the room and with colors that pulled the look together. Achieved both with this purchase. The red trim has a bit more burgundy in it than I'd expected as I was trying to match more of a scarlet, but it looks fine as is.

great rug
 from Pennsylvania,  Jul 19, 2011

Very nice rug! Sisal is a nice tanish color, not pinky like some I've had. The trim color is nice and substantially wider than others I've had. The edges somehow feel weighted, heavier than usual. Hoping this will stop the edges from rolling since I've had thus problem with other rugs. I would purchase this rug again!

  • How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Perfectly
  • Please tell us about the quality of the product. This rug is high quality and perfect for the casual look I was going for in my family room.
  • How accurate was the on site description of the product? Very accurate description

Replaced a previous rug of similar look from Ikea. This one is higher grade, not harsh on bare feet and did not have any "rug" odors mentioned in other reviews. Love it!

  • Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Yes
  • How is the quality of the product? excellent
  • Did the description onsite accurately describe the product? Yes

Great Value!
 from Columbus, OH,  Mar 29, 2011

I ordered this rug from Ovestock because it was lower priced than retail markets. It's very durable, easy to clean, and looks like it costs more than it did. I have two dogs, and a two year old grand son. So far it has had milk spilled on it and muddy paws tracked across it. All it took was a little carpet cleaner, and a few dabs, and it came clean! I plan to order again, the delivery was very fast. I highly recommend this rug!!

Just what I'd hoped for
 from Boston area,  Feb 22, 2011

Feeling a bit sticker-shy after adding a sunroom to my house, price was one of my prime concerns in furnishing it. But I worried that buying a rug that cost less than $100 when similar ones were advertised for quadruple that price might mean low quality. In this case I would say you get way more than you pay for. The rug sits in a high-traffic area between my backdoor and kitchen and it has proven itself able to hold up and clean up beautifully. I would definitely recommend it.

mixed, mostly good
 from Garner, NC,  Dec 3, 2010

Delivery from Overstock was great outside of a one day delay due to them entering our house number wrong on the shipping notice...but for the speed and cheap shipping (and this time free) that Overstock always gives this error was easily forgiven. As far as the product, this was purchased with the black trim for our foyer, and yes, it does have ripples, but it is smoothing out. I am going to try flipping it for the day as some have done to see if that helps. This is hand woven and it is jute, so it does have imperfections in the weaving, in the fibers, etc, and yes, it does have a slight odor...it is minor though and it just smells like you opened a ball of twine. It is NOT the type of odor one gets from a seagrass rug...I only barely noticed it as I was close up to it and taking it out of the packaging. Not a problem at all. If you want a perfect rug (shape, fibers, perfect weave) this is not for you...but if you want a more earthy look it is great and looks very nice. Just an fyi...an interesting comment on the tag on the rug...it says under cleaning instructions: "we recommend regular vacuuming. When spills occur (we'll cross our fingers for you), immediately blot with a clean cloth or sponge. Professional cleaning is highly recommended". So....that makes me wonder how it will be with liquid spills, especially with the "cross our fingers" comment! I purchased a matching round rug for under our kitchen table and time will tell if that will prove to be a mistake (but it looks great). We are empty nesters so we no longer have little ones running around with sippy cups and such (though our friends tells us wait until the grandkids start coming!). These rugs would probably not be great if you have young children due to the cleaning factor.

great rug
 from St Louis, MO,  Nov 2, 2010

I love this rug - You don't need anything under it and it doesn't slip around. Makes the room look so much warmer. There was no curling - just unrolled it and we were ready to go. Good deal...
