I might buy this rug...

Make sure the chairs slide in and out without hitting the edge. The rug will fray, you will be made. Also someone will break a chair trying to get up from the table. It will be your sister and it will piss you off.

See, besides the cost of the flooring, this is why I'm hesitant to pull out all the carpets and get hardwood (or laminate) installed. Mrs already spends a small fortune replacing the throw rugs in the hard floored entrance hall. She'd have to buy (and regularly replace) dozens more if we had hard floors throughout the whole house. :blink:

I agree!   I am one of the few remaining fans of carpet.

I ''think'' the Mrs and I have come to an agreement. We'll replace the carpets in the living room and bedrooms with midgrade carpet, but more often per the doggie/doggies, and she gets her high priced ceramic tile in the kitchen. At least that's the plan until she changes her mind again. Meanwhile nothing gets done because we've been agreeing/disagreeing about the floors for several years now. :angry:

What Aire said, don’t get it.

That is why you invest in hand woven. All ours are wool/silk hand woven from Turkey. One we have in the living room is about 30 years old. Even with a toddler and a sorta elderly dog who has accidents, it is in great shape.

A little baby shampoo mixed with water, a light scrubbing and hang it to dry. Easy peasy.

Most rugs today are machine, not really the bad part, and woven on a fiber (usually sisal) backing; where the problem lies. The fiber is usually some exceptionally cheap material that absorbs the stain/smell/color and re leeched it back into the rug.

My rugs are enemies of your rugs.  I bought them in Armenia. :)

It is home..original price $400something..like maybe $489..Final Sale price $329.97..that s'pose to be the lowest markdown..but it rang up with an additional 20% off..Came to $283.45 including tax...nice deal..I should probably get a pad for underneath it.

 

Do not even put it down without a pad. The pad will keep the rug in better shape.
