I bought two of these rugs instead of pricier custom sisal rugs. I took a chance hoping they would look like their more expensive cousin, and they totally do! I will definitely buy more! I plan on layering, as you do with sisal rugs sometimes, in the living room. I recommend 100% the rugs came faster than expected and once rolled out loosened up to lay flat almost immediately. The rubber backing is a bonus!The rug was exactly what we were hoping for. Quality construction, color as described, and it looks great in our living room. Honestly, we got this rug because we adopted a cat and needed something "safe" for her to scratch and she loves it! We're new to cats and bought several things to have around the house for her to scratch but this rug is the only thing she goes for (saving our furniture). Super happy with the purchase.Love the look of my newrug but, hard to walk on with bae feet. Since it is in the kitchen under the table, I can live with the stiff texture for a great look.I didnt end up keeping it because it was a bit more orange than i expected for where i wanted to put it. But, i have purchased quite a few rugs on amazon and i was very pleased with the quality of this one. I might purchase again in the future for a different areal. I HIGHLY Recommend this rugUsing it in my entryway and loving it so far Love the latex backing. It's a really good price for the quality.I looked at a lot of similar products on Amazon and was put off by the reviews for other rugs that look like this. So far I am very happy with how this rug looks and the quality. We purchased another one for under our bedLove the color,style and quality. Stain resistant probably not but love it anyway.It's a jute and sisal rug. It's pretty much exactly what you think it is. It's almost exactly the same rug I saw at Crate and Barrel but $150 cheaper so I'm pretty happy with it. The size is not exactly 8x10 but that's not unusual for this kind of rug.
