Handmade Alexa Eco Natural Fiber Cotton Border Sisal Rug (8' x 10')

This rug is definitely sisal and jute. It is scratchy which doesn't bother me at all but my daughter whose room it went into was complaining that it is too scratchy. Not a rug to lay on or let a baby crawl around on. But my daughter(who is in college and home not that often) has a dog who threw up on it about 3 days after we put it in her room and I was like okay, here we go. BUT I blotted it and cleaned it up with a rug cleaner and you can't even see it. I like the rug, it isn't that scratchy, did not have any odor when we un packaged it. I would recommend it for sure!

Love the rug! It is perfect for what I needed it for, which is under a dining table for a house near the beach. I is very easy to vacuum and spills clean up with ease. It traps the sand brought in by the kids and the dog plus at this price it can be replaced in a few years if it starts to look too grungy. It comes with a rubber backing so a pad is unnecessary and it lays nice and flat right from the start. Be advised that this is a fairly stiff sisal so you might not want to use it in a bedroom where you would be walking barefoot often, doesn't hurt but not as comfortable as soft sisal.

This rug is good quality and didn't offgas for us, however it's much rougher than the sisal rug I wanted to purchase from Overstock, but was out of stock in the size I needed. We will have to manage - the rug is in a bedroom and we'll probably by layer softer throw rugs on top of it, however if it were in a more high-traffic area such as a porch, it would probably be fine.

It looks very elegant and classic in my dining room. It lightened up the room a lot. I have dark wood table so this was perfect. The smell of the fabric is Not bad at all. It goes away after a couple of days. The only thing is that it's not a soft rug to walk on it but I guess sisal rugs fiber is that way.
