nuLOOM Nakia Transitional Indoor/Outdoor Area Rug, 5' x 8', Nakia Brown

I highly recommend this rug! I have had jute and sisal rugs but with a dog, they held odors and it grossed me out. Also, they were hard to keep clean. But this rug looks JUST like sisal! I was worried it would look like it was made of plastic (with a sheen or something), but it really doesn't, and I am very particular about these kinds of details. It SMELLS like new carpet though! I put it out in the sun for about 2 hours and the smell reduced by about 95%, so I suggest doing this. Also, I put it on a felt rug pad and this reduced the creases significantly. Wonderful rug and I highly recommend it!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Definitely a great rug. Bought a 9x12 for my living room…I wanted the jute look/color but not actual jute since I have kids and it’s very difficult to get stains out of. So far this rug has been really easy to clean (just with a wet rag for spills), and is pretty soft considering it’s an indoor/outdoor rug. I will say it came folded, not rolled so it had creases which I didn’t love. But they fell out on their own without having to do anything after about a week or so of walking on it. It also had a very strong chemical smell when first opened but went away within 5 days. If you’re sensitive to smell I’d let it air out in a garage. Overall really happy with the purchase.
