nuLOOM Penelope Braided Wool Area Rug, 10' x 10', Square, Penelope Off-white

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased two of these rugs and like them so much that I am going to add a third to the room. When I unwrapped it I was afraid it was going to be stiff and coarse to walk on, but quite to the contrary it is thick, soft and comfy under my feet. It actually exceeded my expectations.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had my eyes on this rug for years before I ultimately purchased it. I wish I would have just purchased sooner - it has the braided look which adds an organic feel; yet, it is soft to the touch unlike jute rugs. I have dogs and the gray backing creates enough dimension/texture that you don't notice when it gets a little dirty. I will say, it does collect my dog's hair but the rug is so easy to vacuum it doesn't bother me. I'm not sure how well it would do with stains, so I'd be sure to purchase the protection plan.
