I was so unsure what size to buy. I read all the articles on how to place a rug in a room, how to “anchor” furniture around the rug, and how a little bit too big is better than a little bit too small. I decided to get the Esme blue in 5x7 for one room and the Esme tan/ivory in 8x10 for another room. The blue arrived first — perfect size! My coffee table is centered on it and one substantial chair anchors it. There is enough room around the couches so it “breathes.” The tan/ivory arrived second — I thought at first glance how huge it was. When I brought it into the room and laid the tube down (it comes wrapped in a roll), I knew it was absolutely too big for my room, and a not quite the right shape. I put painters tape down to mimic the size and I knew had to return it. I then measured for the next size down (6x9) and it still would not be right. I really, really wish this came in a 6x8 size (which would be absolutely perfect!), but alas, it does not. I took the blue 5x7 rug out of the other room to try it for size and it looks just fine! Yes, it will be the dreaded “floating island” that decor articles say to avoid, but honestly, it looks nice — and if it looks good, then to heck with what “they” say. Quality? Yes, it’s good. I know I did not buy heirloom rugs. The design is printed on, and it’s not super thick, but I did not want a super thick rug for padding comfort; I want a rug for aesthetics. It’s soft, feels good under foot, and it has a non-skid backing already attached. As previously mentioned, it arrived rolled as a tube, but it took very little time for it to settle down flat. The colors in both rugs are nice. The blue has a darker blue around the perimeter and a softer blue in the middle. The ivory background pulls a very light gray as well. Love it! The tan/ivory rug has a little less of a contrast between the outer and center designs. The tan/ivory color isn’t really either tan or ivory and is hard to describe. It’s certainly pretty and neutral, but can show up differently depending on the room it is in. For example, in an off-white room, you see the browner undertones. In a room where there is burgundy, it pulls that redness. IMHO, this is a good thing, as it will pull the right color for the room it is in. While the bigger size did not work for me, I am very happy with the smaller size, and look forward to getting another! Satisfied customer; 5 stars. Read more
Rug looks great in the living room and is nice and soft. The colors are as pictures and the quality good for the price. The size is near perfect under the dining room table and it lays flat enough for the rumba to vacuum daily without disturbing the edges. Read more
I was impressed by how nice these rugs looked online, and figured I'd give one a try as I had some truly hideous old, stained carpet in my home office and the price was very reasonable. I initially purchased the Cinzia Bronze rug for that room, and was just blown away by how good the new rug looked! The colors, for all that they have an antique "faded" look, are much more vibrant than I expected. The rug itself seems very sturdy and well-made--not cheap at all. The surface is a very dense pile that seems like it would be very easy to spot clean. The edges are nicely bound all around in a matching color. The backing is rubberized for a no-slip surface, though I did use some double-sided carpet tape just to help keep it in place on top of my existing (low-pile) carpet. After a day or so of admiring the first rug, I purchased a second one for my bedroom (also to cover pet stains). The Tanis Anthrocite was also even nicer in person--I was expecting mostly shades of gray and tan, but there are a lot of subtle green and peach tones in it that are just lovely and match my room perfectly. From certain angles, you'd swear it was an expensive embroidered rug. I'm very happy with my purchases and would gladly buy more of these! At the price, they are an exceptional deal! Read more
I never thought a rug could make me so happy. This rug is one of my favorite things in my home. It laid flat as soon as I unrolled it. It’s lightweight so I was able to maneuver it on my own. It’s very thin and easy to keep clean (the vacuum won’t suck it up!). It’s also surprisingly soft! I love to walk on it with bare feet. There was no weird smell and it looks like a real, fancy rug! I adore the pattern. I had several guests over recently and got many, many compliments on the rug. I am so happy I made this purchase. Read more
Perfect for my guestroom so that guest don’t have to step from bed onto cold and hard tile floor. I bought two (one for either side of the bed). When ordering I was unsure about the color, but it works nicely with the gray comforter on the bed. The design is beautiful and the texture is nice and softly smooth. I did find that they would slip on my tile floor, but came up with a solution – I placed an old yoga mat under each one and that kept it from slipping, and also gives a little bit of cushion. Be aware these rugs are printed and thin as mentioned in the description, but they are nice for the price. Read more
I was a little worried about this rug because I usually shop for things with more reviews and the price was so low compared to other rugs similar size and styles. But the rug came very quickly and colors are as shown - maybe slightly deeper, which works better for my space anyway. Smooth surface material - almost like a kitchen mat. Non-slip bottom works well for me (however I do have furniture on every corner of it). Came out of the packaging with ease, no awkward wrinkles or creases to smooth, and no curling edges. The material is great for easy cleaning if you have pets. Very pleased with this rug, and for a great price! Read more
This rug is beautiful and well made. It played flat when unpacked and has a nice amount of non skid surface in the back. Very soft and nice to walk on and easy to vacume. Ordered the same rug in different color for our den. Read more
Definitely not non-slip. I use it under furniture which anchors it and keeps it in place. Bought it for warmth on cold hardwood floor and it does what I need it to do while looking lovely. Read more
