This handmade area rug is Goodweave Certified, so it's socially conscious as it is elegant. It's handmade from 100% handspun jute using a flatwoven technique. The light, neutral colors offer just the right amount of style and practicality. Although it has a braided appearance that might appear delicate, its durable design is anything but. Thanks to the medium 0.5" high/low pile, it's a great choice for high-traffic areas like living rooms or entryways. To help keep this area rug in place and reduce shifting and sliding, we recommend pairing it with a rug pad.
