Pretty Rug

I received my rug today in the 4x4 square to go at my door from the garage. I love it, the color, the size and the design. It will look better when all l the wrinkles relax. It fit just right in the space I needed it for. I'm happy with it. I'll need to put some double-sided tape underneath though, so it won't slide, it doesn't have a non-skid bottom. I think all rug manufacturer's need to put non-skid bottoms on all their rugs for safety reasons, for everyone who purchases a rug or mat, especially the elderly. That's the first thing I look at when buying a product. Safety comes first always.

I am a Persian rug fan, with 2 wool and 2 polypropylene ones in other rooms in the house. But I decided to go more contemporary in my master bedroom. The pattern on this rug is very subtle. The beige swirls almost disappear into the cream background, especially depending on the direction the fibers are vacuumed. I was happy to get an 8x10 rug for under $150, but it is definitely lower quality than my Persian Safavieh polypropylene rug. It’s like a very thin piece of wall to wall carpeting that’s bound. But I wasn’t ordering a wool-silk Persian rug for thousands of dollars, so I am not surprised or disappointed. Just know that it is a budget quality rug. It is very thin, so you may want to use a rug pad to give the illusion of more plushness. If you have one already, I’d say. If you would need to buy a rug pad too, you might just step up to nicer quality rug. But the color coordinates well with my drapes and the pattern works in the room, so I’m keeping it. I may upgrade at some point in the future. Or not. Overall, as long as you have proper expectations based on the price point, I think it’s a pleasing rug.
