Company C Deluxe Woven Area Rug - 5x8'

I purchased 2 of the 8 x 11 rugs. While they were pretty to begin with (a couple of months ago), staining is a problem & the colors can bleed into each other if a spill isn't wiped up immediately. My dog knocked a glass of water onto the carpet & it ruined the rug--all the "stripes" bled into each other. It's very thin & also not easy to vacuum--especially if you have dogs that shed (and who doesn't?). A rug pad is also necessary. I would not purchase again--don't think it will last in decent condition very long. Also the ends curl up. Basically I have to babysit these rugs & vacuum them twice as much as I do every other rug in the house. [...]

To be fair, this is "not" a wool rug as a previous reviewer stated, its woven cotton and well made. The best use is over solid-color, wall-to-wall carpet to add color. It is not thick nor should you expect it to be as it is (1) woven and (2) cotton. Because it is lightweight, it can be difficult to vacuum, but not so difficult as to let that stand in the way of buying it.

I thought it was a thicker rug like the other Company C rugs we had bought. It was a plain, flat wool rug. it definitely needs padding under it if used to play on.
