Handmade Eco Natural Fiber Chunky Loop Jute Rug (5' x 8')

I was looking to find a neutral rug with a rustic, natural look but Pottery Barn-type rugs were out of our budget. This rug in natural is EXACTLY what I was hoping for and more! We have had the item for almost six months and it looks the same as the day we bought it, except for some slight relaxing and fraying in the fringe on the ends. This rug gets frequent traffic but you can't see any evidence of dirt or wear on the surface. We did not experience any offending smell as some reviews have reported. The only scent when our rug was delivered was an earthy/grassy smell that I would have expected given the material. There is some shedding of dirt that is evident only when you pull the rug up. Sometimes I find a few of the natural fibers have shed as well but the shedding is much less than I have experience with new wool rugs. Our automatic "Neato" vacuum also has no trouble getting up on this rug and vacuuming. Love this rug - and given the quality, durability, and gorgeous aesthetic it brings my room I'd have a very hard time even considering Pottery Barn! Definitely give this rug a look if you are looking for a designer look with a wallet-friendly price! Thanks Overstock!

The rug is in my breakfast area and it has made such a differnce. It really warmed the area up and I have gotten so many compliments. Thinking about buying a larger size for a guest bedroom.

This rug has a lot of texture and is pretty thick. Surprisingly, it is also quite soft underfoot and a bit "shifty" so it needs an anti-skid mat. It smelled a little grassy for the first day, and dropped quite a bit of vegetable fiber dust also, but that is to be expected and it went away. I like it and it is perfect in my entry are to catch the tracked in stuff before it spreads throughout the house.

We love the color and texture of this rug, but it has snagged a lot and shed even more. At first, I blamed my poor long-coated dog, but I soon realized the fibers were shedding in unappealing hair-like lumps. We've used the rug for more than a year now and it sheds some. Frankly, in the end I would say that at least for me, it is worth it to deal with the shedding to have a rug that is otherwise easy care. Because of the dark color, it doesn't stain or show wear... Another positive piece of this purchase, is that the rug was very affordable for us and delivered a lot of style for the money!. We couldn't afford to have our floors scraped and finished, so this became a really helpful solution. It worked well to define the seating area in our apartment living room and is durable in an area that gets a lot of traffic.
