Pleased with my new rugs

I read the reviews and most everyone said these rugs were nice. I ordered two runners for my kitchen and they arrived in just a couple of days and I was very happy with the appearance as well as the workmanship on these rugs. I would definitely buy again and highly recommend.

Defective

I bought 2 of these. I had them delivered to my home. The 1st one is fine and I love it, but the second one is not in great condition. Looks like someone pulled a thread out, and there's no way to fix that

    snug as a bug in a rug

    I'M NOT NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE LUXURY OF SISAL BUT THIS FAUX SISAL BY MAINSTAYS WAS A SURPRISE. IT IS MADE FROM OLEFIN AND THE PICTURE DOESN'T REFLECT THE REAL THING. IT IS BEAUTIFUL. I WANTED AN EXTRA RUG IN THE BEDROOM BUT COULDN'T HIDE THIS ONE SO I PUT IT IN MY ENTRYWAY. MY DOG LOVES IT TOO. IT VACUUMS VERY EASY AND SAM'S CLAWS DOES NOT GET CAUGHT. YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN HIM ROLLING ON IT. HE APPROVES!! THE BACKING LOOKS VERY GOOD AND I DON'T BELIEVE IT WILL BE GOING ANYWHERE. WHEN I OPENED IT I THOUGHT THERE MAY BE AN ODOR BUT THERE WASN'T. IT HAS 100 PERCENT OLEFIN PILE. IT WILL BE GREAT IN HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS. WITH THIS BEING STAIN RESISTANT AND FIRE RETARDANT I DON'T THINK I WOULD WANT THE COSTLY UPKEEP OF SISAL. I THINK YOU CAN TAKE TH...

    Adds Great Overall Appearance for Any Room.

    I didn't realize how really good this Mainstays Faux Sisal Gray 5x7 Rug looks until it was down on my floor. I like how it looks and blends with everything around it. It feels good underfoot and doesn't show dog hair between vacuumings. The bottom is not foam backed, so it won't glue itself to my wood floors as previous rugs have. It has a latex backing that aids in being slip resistant. Although I noticed that when my little dog is doing her 90 yard dash, she managed to move it a little. It is a fantastic accent to any room and I could have put it anywhere and it would have blended in and added to the room's looks. It is made of 100% Olefin pile. I need an easy to care for rug and this fits the bill. I am so impressed with this faux sisal ...

    Beautiful Gray

    When this rug arrived, I was surprised at just how nice looking it was. I first left it in the living room for about a week and it looked really good there but I am living with my sister right now and today moved it to my bedroom. This rug should add more warmth to my bedroom (that is the warm decor feeling as well as heat warmth) plus it goes very well with my gray comforter and bed-skirt – which I took a picture of but oops, my gray jacket was on the bed and I should have ironed the bed-skirt!) The 100% olefin loop pile is pretty soft when I touched it with my hands (I have feet problems and don’t walk around bare-footed). Plus, even though the rug has only been in my bedroom about 30 minutes, the living room does not feel as warm as it ...

    Excellent purchase

    I love this rug. I purchased it to put on the patio but when I saw the rug I decided it was too nice to let get wet outside. I decided to put it in my kitchen at the entry door, so there is plenty of room for people to take their shoes off and leave them on the rug I would buy again.

    Nice Runner for a GREAT PRICE

    Mainstays Faux Sisal gray Runner has lighter gray mix with dark gray in the center and the border is a dark gray. First I pick to put the runner in my bedroom entrance for my wall to wall carpet is getting thinner in the entrance. I did not want to buy a a new wall to wall carpet. By adding a runner would fix the problem. The runner unfolded nicely and easy, and no problem staying down. Sometime rugs smell bad, this did not smell bad. Has a little backing to help runner stay in place. It is machine washable, that is a blessing and makes life easily. The Stain and Fad Resistant is a blessing too for with pets and small child in a home things happen. I don't know how it wash for I just got the runner last night. The runner stayed in place for...

    Surprisingly Soft

    I was very surprised with how soft this rug felt. I was expecting a stiff rug more suitable for the basement or enclosed porch, but it is very soft and perfect for my living room. Yet it still has enough firmness to deal with children. The loops of the rug are tight. The pattern is so beautiful, yet simple. Perfect for hiding a few crumbs that toddlers are known to leave behind. I would recommend this rug for a small room like mine. It is the perfect size. It rolled out easily and immediately laid flat. There was a bit of a new carpet smell, but it wasn't overwhelming. A little febreeze would easily help that. The color matches the blue-grey of my living room walls perfectly. I am very pleased and have no regrets with this rug. There is a ...

    nice rugs, great price

    Purchased this with the 1'8"x2'6" for in front of stove/sink/work spot. lots of traffic and stays put. Arrived rolled but the small one was folded. There are no fold marks. Love that it is machine washable. "Red" is not really the true color, more of a dark rust which is the color of my accent wall painted "new brick". Corners lay flat also. The center is sisal color, thus the term "faux sisal" is in description. No issue with large dog and cat getting claws stuck.

    Looks good!

    The rug is exactly as it looks online. The color is nice and warm, it's pretty soft to walk on and the texture is just like a bath mat. Reasons for only 3 stars…It seems durable however, mine came with a section that seems like some of the fabric is either loose or fabric was pulled during the making. With that said I'm keeping an eye on it and so far so good.

    Gorgeous addition to any house.

    This is a beautiful two tone gray runner rug. It is a nice muted color so it will match with many different color schemes. The neutral colors make it perfect for both genders as well. It is not too shiny or matte, but instead has a nice gentle sheen to it that brightens up the room. The two toned color also helps hide dust and dirt between vacuuming or cleaning. It is textured so it adds a little visual pop to wherever you put it. It is very soft to the touch and is pleasing on feet. The knit is very tight and well made. The rug itself it fairly heavy so it sits nicely even when you first open it. The underside is well made and doesn't slip when you put it on top of carpet. It would be perfect for any hallway, between your coffee table and ...

    Love it

    I received this beautiful rug just in time as I am allergic to my present rug. (Donated). Delivered in perfect condition, removed the plastic, there is a little odor but when unrolled, the scent goes away, I believe it is from the wrapping plastic. The color is on point, I placed this rug in my sewing room over my wall to wall carpeting and, it is just stunning. What I like most is, that it stays put, no slipping or movement on the rug underneath.. Just love it.

    Super Area Rug

    This carpet brings the great look of a sisal style area rug without the inconvenience. Because this is a faux sisal rug, it does not break down in high traffic areas as natural sisal will. It also is softer than the fibers of natural sisal. I expect it will clean easier as well. It is very durable and well made. This carpet will protect your hardwoods and bring warmth to any room. For anyone who doesn’t know what sisal is, it’s a fiber made from a plant used for ropes and carpets. It usually is rather rough but has a distinct pretty loop and texture that is great for home decorating and goes easily with many decors bringing color and style to your home. The edging is very soft and the Faux sisal loops are much softer than I expected. The un...

    Very nice runner

    I received the 1.9 x 5 foot runner. I was looking for something to go in the rv. I tried the runner out in the house first in the kitchen. It is a thin runner. On the tiled floor I could feel the indentions between the tile, so if you are looking for a comfy to stand on rug this is not it. But the runner did do what I wanted it and needed it to do. The rug keeps your feet off the cold floor. It is a nice soft material to walk on. The rugs material is so soft but it will snag on rough feet or dogs feet (the rough pads) it doesn't tear it up and it just snags for a minute. It has held up nicely though you cants see those snags. The rug has a nice backing that keeps it in place nicely. It was in a high traffic area with pets and people waking ...

    I needed this.

    Honestly I Didn't think this would be a quality product. I was thinking it would be more a long the throw rug kind of a deal. (I think everyone knows what a pain a throw rug is, an object to trip over.) I was going to get a couple throw rugs and set them in front of my computer stand. I don't care how careful you are, there will be ink that will drip on it. When you refill a cartridge it is twice as bad. The worst is to get drips of black. It can be cleaned off, but takes a lot of time. I ended up putting this down. It lays flat and doesn't bunch up. It allows my chair to roll with no problem also. Two days later it got put to the test. (Yea, I spilled black ink.) I came off quite easily with carpet cleaner and warm water. (The pictures sho...

    Pleasing to the eye,

    This is a nice area rug that is soft to the touch, the design is not unattractive it is soothing. The solid border compliments the interior design. They are both the same softness and it all flows together that a feature of a well designed rug has. The design stands out as a rug with good quality it keeps you looking at it and wanting to touch the softness. It is good to do my push-ups on, nice and cushioning. It works to play family games on, I would not want it in a high traffic area, I want to feel the softness and enjoy the comfort of a barefoot type experience. It is a nice thickness to easily vacuum and keep clean. I have rugs I that I can use on top of carpet and this is one of them I will also be using it on wood floors when my hous...

    Perfect for heavy traffic areas

    This sisal runner is perfect for heavy traffic areas. We have ours in our mudroom where we trundle in from the muddy yard. Its a perfect size for those not-too-big areas and well made. The color is also very attractive and matches one of our cats perfectly! The rubberized backing makes it non slip which is great too. The only thing lacking is any information as to how to clean it.

    Good size for a foyer

    I have a long and narrow foyergra, and rugs are usually too wide to fit well without bumping into the pieces of furniture I have there. At 1' 9” X 5', this rug is perfect for that space. The rug is too thick for my front door to open onto, so I have it set back to clear the door opening. It has a raised loop pattern that is nice to walk on barefoot. As advertised, the rug does not skid at all, which is a great feature, especially coming in the front door. The rug I received to review is gray and matches anything, but it comes in other colors. I haven't cleaned it yet, but it is supposed to be machine washable. I have purchased other Mainstay products, and find them to be a good value, especially for the price. This run looks much more expen...

    Heavy rug with a nice back. Great for my office.

    The rug looks good nice color will not show dirt easily. Rug is thick and the woven back is stiff and seems to be tough. Stays on the floor and does not slide. I like the colors not to dark and not to light. I put this in front of my desk and it works great for the sliding wheels on the chair. Goes great with the black desk. If you have an office in your home this is a great rug. Looks good and will protect your floor. All in all a great well made rug. Not cheaply made.

    Nice 5 x 7 area rug that goes with any decor!

    The rug arrived yesterday and I unpacked it right away. My first notion was to open it out and pry the corners down so it would stay flat but that was not an issue. It rolled out perfectly and right away it was put in place on the floor at my entrance. When I saw the word "SISAL" I just assumed it was for outdoors but it is an inside rug . I have tile floors so it is very slippery so tomorrow I will return to Walmart and get a non slip rug pad to make it non skid. The rug looks very expensive and is made very well. The loops are really tight so the cats are not interested in sharpening their claws on it as they would with the typical "Sisal". That is what cat scratching posts are made of. This rug is a beautiful addition to my home and anyo...
