Hand-woven Matador Blue Leather Rug (5' x 8')

Over-all, this is a nice rug. Never before having had a leather rug, I was at first suprised but the rough feel of the rug, however I quickly got used to it. The rug is very easy to clean. My dog upchucked on the rug and it cleaned with just water and had no remaining stain or odor! I'm ery pleased with the rug. One suggestion-get a rug pad. It keeps the rug from slipping andinprovd it's feel under foot.

My dogs have never chewed on leather items like shoes, but they hated this rug and tore it apart. Don't think leather was "cured" as it smelled awful

One reviewer described this as a "rag rug" made with suede -- as though that were a bad thing. On the contrary, this is GREAT! I love a rag rug but hate how quickly they dirty and start to look beat up. This is not a problem with this rug. I don't find mine rustic at all (maybe the quality varies?), but quite elegant. There's an element of quirky to it that appeals to me, but my overwhelming thoughts are: 1. WHOA, the blues in this are amazing and 2. WHOA, this is a heavy, substantial rug that I suspect will have a very long life. As mentioned in previous reviews, it's not soft. It is strips of suede sewn together: it feels slightly bumpy and very firm. But if I'd wanted something cushy, I would have gone with flokati or shag. I wanted something large and hearty for my entryway, and this fits the bill. I could not be happier. The colors really are phenomenal and the size is fully 5' x 8'. It shipped quickly and I'm a happy camper.

This should be labeled as suede. It looks like a rag rug but made of other materials. Definitely sloppier looking than the pictures shows. Returning it immediately.

This rug is a very pretty and unique style to it. It is strong and will hold up. However, it is not soft AT ALL so do not place it right where there is a lot of foot traffic. I have mine at the end of the bed where no one walks on it. It was more for the color and textured look of the rug.
