All natural machine-made sisal rug with cotton edging and latex backing. Recommended for indoor use only; avoid direct exposure to sunlight. Size is approximate.Imported. Please note: Rugs (especially wool rugs) are prone to a natural shedding process. With regular vacuuming the shedding will decrease over time. Hand-knotted rugs tend to shed less than hand-tufted rugs and flatweave rugs will shed less than those with a deeper pile but all rugs will shed more in high-traffic areas than they do in lower-traffic spaces. Unfortunately we cannot provide rug swatches at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience.We recommend using a rug pad with every indoor rug to prolong its beauty by minimizing everyday wear and tear and providing a little breathing space to help prevent fiber damage. A pad also helps stabilize the rug reducing slippage on hard floors.
