Kate Hand-Knotted Wool Rug vs Rugs USA Melrose Checked Wool Area Rug

Buy the Kate if you want a hand-knotted, low-pile wool rug built to last years in a high-traffic room. Buy the Melrose if you want a checked pattern in a smaller, softer hand-tufted wool rug at an entry level. The Kate wins on construction and durability; the Melrose wins on pattern choice and a plusher feel underfoot.

• Choose the Kate Hand-Knotted Wool Rug if you want a durable, low-pile wool rug that holds up in busy rooms and comes in a larger size.
• Choose the Rugs USA Melrose Checked Wool Area Rug if you want a graphic checked pattern in a softer hand-tufted wool rug for a smaller space.
