Which is better for a hallway?

The nuLOOM Rigo. It is flat, has no backing, and is rated for high-traffic areas at $99.99. The Dash & Albert listing marks high traffic as false.

Is the Dash & Albert worth the extra money?

Only if you want a reversible braided rug. At $268.00 it costs about $168 more than the nuLOOM, and its fiber content is inconsistent across the listing.

Neither carries a warranty. The Dash & Albert is reversible, so it can be flipped to spread wear. Jute rugs of either kind shed and stain over time.

Can I use either in a kitchen?

The nuLOOM is listed for kitchens and high-traffic areas. The Dash & Albert is listed for bedrooms and living rooms, not kitchens.

Are they the same size?

Not exactly. The nuLOOM is 2' x 8' but may vary. The Dash & Albert is nominally 2' x 8' but its actual width is 2.5 ft.

nuLOOM Rigo Hand Woven Jute Runner vs Dash & Albert Jute Flatweave Runner

Buy the nuLOOM Rigo if you want a natural jute runner at a low price: $99.99 at Kohl's as of November 5, 2026, versus $268.00 at Lowe's for the Dash & Albert. The Dash & Albert is reversible and hand-braided, but it costs about $168 more and its own listing conflicts on fiber (jute in the name, wool in the specs). For a hallway or kitchen runner, the nuLOOM is the better value.

Today the nuLOOM Rigo Hand Woven Jute Runner costs $168.01 less at its best price.
