nuLOOM Ashli Solid Farmhouse Jute Runner Rug, 2' 6" x 8', Off-white

Until I started this review I didn't know it was handwoven! When I vacuumed it I got up a lot of hair, the family was here for Christmas but it was a magnificent amount of hair. It is quite beautiful and everyone complimented me on it. It did have some dirt or something when I laid it down and I had to pick it up to move it there was dirt down there but I just vacuumed it up. It isn't the kind of rug you want to sit on that much but it looks super good with my furniture and I wanted kind of a coastal look which I achieved with a jute rug. I will take a picture of it. It looks like really good quality, I've only been walking on it for about three weeks. I really like the size, it's bigger than most of the rugs I've had and it does lay very flat and the corners do not curl up. Took a picture so you could see that it lays flat There is no wrinkling. I think if I needed to clean it I would just take it outside on the patio and spray it off and let the sun dry it. I love the variation in the color, it has a lot of personality, I got the 7 foot 6" x 9' one and look how it fills up in my living area. It was a very good price and I feel pretty good about it.

I bought this to replace a polyester/polyethelene carpet I had bought about six years ago. The rug is in a very high traffic area (a thoroughfare in our row house style apartment). The room also is my plant room. I was kind of careless about dripping water on the rug, and eventually it started to stink like mildew. But even in areas where I hadn't dripped water, the poly rug started to smell really bad. I thought I'd try shampooing the rug, but even this didn't take care of the odor. And when I vacuumed, there was always red residue from the red rug. It was obviously breaking apart from the wear and tear, causing the petroleum based fibers to give off an odor and releasing the dreaded microplastics into our environment. So. I wanted to replace it with an affordable natural fiber option. I did my research about jute so I wouldn't encounter any surprises. I'm on a super tight budget as I'm about to begin student teaching for three months which means no income for three months. The rug I needed to replace was in the room where I like to study. I did not want to be in this room where the carpet stank. The floor underneath it (I rent) is icy cold marble that needs to be refinished and looks disgusting and gross no matter how many times I clean it. Why pay hundreds of dollars for a carpet that is made from the same fibers as a less expensive jute rug and made in the same manner (handwoven)? This one was affordable. It was not very heavy to carry and though it had some creases and bumps at first, they quickly went away. Though the rug itself is not heavy, it lays well. I was able to salvage the rug pad from my previous carpet, but ended up throwing it away because this baby does not need any padding below it. It is nice and thick. I was nervous that my cats would scratch at it, but they haven't yet. They seem to really enjoy it, too. I was worried, too, that it would be rough and uncomfortable for doing my stretches on it, but that is not true. It's not exactly "soft" but doesn't feel hard or scratchy. In fact, the thick weave feels sort of massaging on your feet. I did not experience any debris falling off the rug, and the odor from the natural jute is minimal. In fact, I like it! Have you ever been to a haunted house? Where they use plenty of burlap to make walls or other scenery? It smells like that. Or perhaps you've visited the Pawnee Earth Lodge at Chicago's Field Museum. It smells like that. The smell is one thousand times more preferable to the previous petroleum odor that filled the room. I will be looking into buying more jute rugs in the future. I anticipate this one to last a long time, and also anticipate it will fare better if/when I spill plant water on it. Bravo to this rug.

I have 4 of these rugs. 2x3 4x6 8x10 and 10x13. All have been delivered in good shape. I opened every one on the clean driveway and vacuumed just in case dirt or debris came with it. Little did. They unfolded well and settled in quickly. I notice a little smell of jute. All are all varying shades of tan and brown and similar enough to each other that I have placed 3 of them next to each other. They function like a custom carpet fitted around the central fireplace. The other catches the dirt from feet going between the garage and kitchen. Each rug is loosely woven in 1/2” loops that are comfortable to walk on in bare feet, but could become uncomfortable to lay or kneel on for any length of time. Their rustic look works with my eclectic ranch/beach/boho style living and dining room. So far I’ve only vacuumed them without a beater bar and they hold up well. They don’t show dirt. The price was good. I expect they will last at least until I want to redecorate in a few years. I would not recommend them for dogs as their toenails could catch in the loose weave.

It’s a thick beautiful woven rug. However, it holds a whole lot of dirt. When I pick up the rug, tons of dirt is under the rug and it falls out like crazy. I do have dogs so I expect some dirt but it’s holding the dirt inside the rug. It does vacuum but again, the dirt is deep. I actually had a sick dog and I had to clean the rug. I took it outside and power washed it. It did absolutely amazing! Has no smell and looks great even after washing it. It has held together great as well. It is great quality. Just not a good rug if you have pets.

Leaving a review as I did a lot of research before purchasing this. I was not new to jute rugs, I have a few smaller ones. I purchased this large rug knowing that there is a bit of a natural smell to it in the beginning and that there can be light shedding. I have 3 cats, 2 who love to scratch rugs. We've had the rug just over a month now, there was no odor beyond minimal natural odor that dissipated within a couple of days, certainly no toxic odors. There were a couple snags or loose loops but nothing that stuck out or caused a defective appearance. Something one has to understand w a natural jute rug is that this will be the case on all of them. They are natural material and hand made. If you want a pristine picture perfect rug, a jute rug is not it. I am pretty particular on the appearance of things in general and this rug exceeded my expectations. I have vacuumed it w our dyson, it has a turning bar but not a typical beater bar (we have the fabric one w the laser light) and have not noticed a lot of shedding nor wear from vacuuming. I have had a cat throw up on it. I promptly cleaned it w just water and a little vinegar and it is no longer visible. As for softness, I wouldn't walk on any jute rug w my bare feet but the cats are happy to take naps on it. Thickness is thick enough not to look cheap. Color is a beautiful natural color, and it didn't have those obvious stripes you see in some jute rugs (I really dislike that appearance). The quality is great in all the ways that are important to me therefore I highly recommend.

I wanted to love this rug so much. It's truly gorgeous to look at, but if you have pets or children (messes galore), this rug is not as easy to clean as it states unfortunately. I had this rug for less than a month before it was stained by a pet accident I couldn't clean out because of the thick fibers. Additionally, dirt from any traffic sifts through the fibers resulting in tons of dust and fine dirt underneath. I do have multiple kids and 2 dogs, so our rugs just need to be more resilient than this one. For someone with a quieter, lower traffic home, this rug would probably be perfect. It really is so pretty to look at - it just doesn't hold up to our chaotic home. Unfortunately this was money wasted for me.

The size was perfect, made well and easy to clean. You cant wash it, but if you give it a good vacuumming your good to go. I always get compliments.

Ok, I got this in Nov 2023 and I can say that, after 2byears, that $235 i spent on this 8'6" x 11'6", Off-white jute rug, its held up remarkably well. We actively use this rug in the bedrooms (I have a smaller one for another room) and it doesnt flatten or skew or pull. It holds up to regular vacuuming and furniture being moved also. I will say, though, that if you dont have a pad under it, it will slide everywhere. Also, because its hand made jute, its NOT exactly the size listed. With the smaller one I'd gotten (8x10), it came about an inch smaller and an inch longer. With this larger one, it came nearly 2 inches longer all around. So, just FYI, something to remember when you buy a pad. Some sizing will be involved. Otherwise, though, its held up beautifully and is far prettier in person. Honestly, I thought it'd get dirty from walking on it easily or be more sand colored, but I was happily surprised that it was actually more cream with sand mixed in and bright against the dark hardwoods. It goes perfectly with both the grey and blue, dark wood beach vibe room and the boho rich mid browns, acacia, mango wood and earthy tones in the other room. That $235 price on this larger one, I'm so freaking happy I took the leap and spent it. The color and durability doesnt disappoint.

I've had this for a few years at the front door and there is no wear at all. I vacuum it regularly and it still looks like new. It is very nice looking.

Solo que creo no haber elegido bien la medida y resultó más pequeño de lo que pensaba

Thick, comfortable, no smell, seems well made.

El tiempo de entrega, fue excelente. Solamente que el tapete tiene un terminado demasiado rústico, para el lugar que lo necesito.

I've read many reviews about jute carpets and the most prevalent complaint is a bad odor and messy residue left underneath on the floor. When this rug was opened it didn't smell and months later it hasn't shed organic stuff underneath on the floor. The rug is luxuriously thick and well made.
