Pierre's Take

A warm, sun-bleached tan dominates the surface, with subtle shifts into golden beige and soft brown woven throughout the braided texture — the overall palette feels like natural straw in afternoon light, earthy and unpretentious.
Here’s what stood out to me

Variant: Herndon Braided Jute Rug - 9' x 13' Rectangle
Good rug, a little wonky in shape. Lid it down on Saturday, if is settling nicely. No weird smell. The two short ends appear to be rushed under and “hemmed”, which makes it a bit of a challenge for walking. Overall, ok.

Moderately satisfied
Price was right for the size- I wish the ends were even slightly more even, as I’m using this as a layering rug I feel like it really highlights now not straight the edges are

Attractive and comfortable
What surprised me the most was how comfortable the jute fiber was underfoot, not scratchy at all. It is also thick and substantial. It is an effort to keep it aligned, so I’m getting a rug pad to keep it straight, even though I use another rug over it. The one issue I have with it is the size of the weave. In the photo it looks like a tightly woven design, but in reality each plait is about an inch wide, which is not the finished look I’d planned on, which allows debris to be caught more so than a tighter weave. Happily it’s in the living room, not our dining or family room, so with a daily vacuum I’m hoping to keep it fresh. I’d advise asking for a sample before purchasing an entire rug if it’s a natural fiber.

This rug is fantastic! I am layering it with another rug, and it coordinated perfectly! The texture and feel of the rug was surprisingly softer than most natural fiber rugs!!

Living Room Rugs
When selecting a living room rug, choose one that anchors your furniture by either placing all the legs on the rug or just the front legs, which helps define the seating area and enhances the room's acoustics.

Dining Room Rugs
When selecting a dining room rug, choose one large enough to fit under the table and chairs, ensuring that when the chairs are pulled out, they remain on the rug for a balanced look.

Bedroom Rugs
In the bedroom, opt for a rug that extends under the bed, providing a soft surface to step onto when getting out of bed and creating a cozy atmosphere.

Kitchen Rugs
For the kitchen, select a rug to place in front of the sink or under the countertops, offering comfort while standing and adding warmth to the space.

Bathroom Rugs
Choose a bathroom rug that fits comfortably in front of the sink or shower, providing a soft and absorbent surface for stepping out. For larger bathrooms, consider a rug that covers more area to enhance warmth and comfort.

Outdoor Rugs
For outdoor spaces like patios or decks, select a rug that complements the size of your seating area, leaving enough space around the furniture to create a well-defined and inviting look. Opt for weather-resistant materials to ensure durability.

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your jute rugs, please follow these guidelines:
- Regularly vacuum the rug using a low-power setting, ensuring to approach from various angles due to the natural fiber's loose threads and knots.
- Should you encounter loose threads on the rug's surface, trim them using household scissors. To prevent damage or unraveling, avoid pulling threads from the rug's face.
- In the event of spills, blot gently with a clean, undyed cloth to absorb as much of the spill as possible, working from the edges towards the center to prevent spreading.
- If you decide to use cleaning solvents, test on a small hidden area first.
- For stubborn stains, seek the services of a professional cleaner who specializes in natural fiber rugs.
- Avoid dry cleaning as the harsh chemicals can damage or cause fading in the rug.
For more information, check out our Rug Care Instructions.
- Do you offer free shipping?
- Yes — all orders within the continental US ship free. Most items ship within 24 hours from our warehouse in Calhoun, GA.
- What is your return policy?
- We offer 60-day returns on all rugs. If you are not happy with your purchase, contact us within 60 days of delivery for a full refund. We offer the lowest return shipping rate in the industry.
- How do I choose the right rug size?
- Measure your space first. For living rooms, pick a rug large enough for the front legs of all seating to rest on it. For dining rooms, allow 24" of rug beyond the edge of the table so chairs stay on the rug when pulled out. Our Size Guide below has room-by-room recommendations.
- Do you offer samples?
- Yes — for many rugs we offer a low-cost sample so you can check the color, texture, and pile in your space before committing. If a sample is available you will see a "Purchase a Sample" button above.
- Do I need a rug pad?
- For hard floors we strongly recommend a rug pad — it prevents slipping, protects the rug backing, adds cushion underfoot, and extends the life of the rug. We offer Premium (Mohawk) and Standard (Non-Slip) pads sized to this rug above.
- Are the colors in the photos accurate?
- Photos are color-calibrated but monitor settings vary. The "How it looks in different lighting" section below shows how this rug reads in warm, daylight, cool, and evening light. If you want certainty before buying, order a sample.
