I took much too long with deciding what rug to buy for our living room. I finally decided on this jute rug and am beyond happy with my purchase. I love neutrals and was looking at various shag rugs which all looked pretty boring in the colors I liked. The jute rug has so much texture and looks beautiful in an understated and not obnoxious way. We've had it for about 3 months now and it has been super easy to clean, hides stains, and feels great on my feet. Almost like my feet are getting massaged. It's definitly not a plush shag rug, so don't expect it to feel silky smooth under your feet, but the fibers are very soft and it's has its own unique feeling. We bought the 8x10 equivalent and the price point was in our budget. Will definitely be buying more from this site!
