Handwoven with a chunky weave and fringed sides, this jute rug is ideal for bringing incredible natural texture and neutral color to its surroundings. Jute rugs are softer underfoot than other natural-fiber options like sisal and sea grass, though just as strong and durable. You should expect some shedding with all jute rugs. We recommend a rug pad to extend the life of the rug and keep it securely in place.
