Ruggable rug

[memenee]

Does anyone have one? Do you like it? Does it look like a “regular” rug? I’m considering one for high traffic high mess areas like dining room and kitchen. I like the idea of being able to wash it.

Thank you!

We got one recently. So far I love it. It’s a flat weave so it’s not plush and thick, but in my opinion that makes it easier to vacuum.

They say the mat is “non skid” and it definitely doesn’t slide around all over the place, but it has shifted slightly from where we laid it down. We don’t have a coffee table on it though, and walk across it often (and my kids sit and play on it).

Overall, I’m happy with it.

quesyrah thank you for sharing - I’m glad you like it! Which one did you get and did you feel it looked pretty much like the picture online?

[quesyrah]

It looks exactly like the picture. I would have to look up the name. Their website says shipping time is 2-4 weeks but we ordered our on 6/21 and it shipped on 6/25. So don’t let the shipping times deter you if you find one you love.

It’s the Kilim Batik multicolor rug.

We have an 8x10 in our kitchen. I like it but don’t love it. We called them a few weeks ago because 2 of the corners had rolled and wouldn’t lay flat anymore. They asked us to send pictures, which we did and they immediately mailed us a new top piece. The new one is made a little differently than the old one and I think it will work better in the long run. It’s not plush but I didn’t really want that in my kitchen, when we drop liquids on it, it repels pretty well for a bit so I have time to get it cleaned up. I have only washed it once or twice but when you separate the two layers little black pieces come off and stick to everything . Our kitchen table is so heavy that we rarely want to move it to clean it. We have a gray design and it’s pretty true to what it looked like online.

We have a runner in our kitchen. It's okay. Definitely not plush. The fabric is flat with a fuzzy texture, and the pattern is just printed on. It's not like plush rugs where the loops are different colors making the pattern. Our edges are fraying a bit too. I'd probably still buy one again though since I couldn't find any other washable runners in the size we needed.

Thanks everyone for sharing. And thanks buckeyegirl I didn’t know about the issue with the rug rolling but I googled it after I saw your response and it seems a lot of people have issues with this, especially their corners rolling.

We don’t like ours. I’d rather pay much less for a plusher rug at TJ Maxx and dry clean. It was too expensive, the print is just printed on and the corners don’t stay well

I wasn't a fan, especially for how much $ the rug was (we had a runner that was about $90). It curled up, looked cheap, and didn't last very long. I could buy 2 plush Target rugs for that price. We have 2 cats and 2 dogs and it's been a better investment getting a carpet cleaning vaccum and treating spots on rugs that way.

I like mine. I wanted a rug to define the living room space in my fairly open plan condo. I will say it took FOREVER to arrive. I ordered in April and didn't get it until a couple of weeks ago. Not sure if that was because of COVID, international shipping or a combination...

@@ I also have a 4 year old DD who's always forgetting to take her shoes off at the door, so I liked the idea that the rug was washable. So far I've found that the nonslip pad does shift a bit, but it's not the end of the world.

I looked into them, and decided not to get it because I read a ton of complaints of them curling at the corners and customer service being terrible when contacted about it. Like telling people to just leave heavy books on the corners indefinitely lol.

I ended up getting a mat from little nomad and use it as a “rug” in our living room/play room. They make kitchen runners too. I’m really happy with it and I can bleach it or anything I need to do!

We’ve had an 8x10 in our dining room for about a year now. I am crazy about the print, but the high traffic area has faded significantly and it started pretty early on- about a month into our owning it. Also, the corner started rolling up within a week of first getting it, so we have Velcro underneath and the first time that we washed it, the edges popped up. I love being able to wash it and adore the pattern, but I am not 100% sure it is worth the full price nor that I would get another.

Yes, forgot about the fading. The corner area that doesn’t get a lot of traffic is significantly darker than the rest of the rug. My husband is going to seriously be annoyed since I had to talk him into it in the first place, but I’m going to replace it probably in the fall.
