I love the look of this jute and cotton flat weave rug. It has been in our casual beachside dining room for three weeks with metal chairs moving in and out, so far no sign of breaking of fibers. I hope our luck continues.
The color is true to its picture.
The only initial downside was that there was a significant smell from sitting in the plastic wrap. I aired it out, as advised, but also sprinkled it twice with baking soda, then vacuumed it. After a week, the smell dissipated. Glad we persisted !
