Mainstays Dylan Solid Diamond Olefin Area Rug vs Garvee 5x7 Checkered Area Rug

Both are 5' x 7' indoor rugs with non-slip backing, so the choice comes down to material and look. The Mainstays Dylan is 100% olefin with a high-low loop diamond pattern and a latex backing; olefin resists stains and fading well but loop pile can snag on pet claws and heels. The Garvee is needle-punched low-pile polyester with a TPR rubber backing, and it is the one marketed as machine washable. Owners rate the Garvee higher (4.8 from 1,851 ratings) than the Mainstays (4.5 from 4,502), though the Mainstays has far more ratings behind its score. Pick the Garvee for a busy household with kids or pets that wants a washable, flat rug; pick the Mainstays for a softer textured look in a low-traffic seating area.

• Choose the Mainstays Dylan if you want a soft high-low textured diamond pattern in blue and a rug that resists stains and fading in a living room or bedroom.
• Choose the Garvee if you need a flat, low-pile rug you can machine wash, with a grippy TPR backing for a nursery, kitchen or high-traffic room.
