Is the Sparta rug good for high-traffic rooms?

Yes. The low polypropylene pile and bound edges handle foot traffic well, and stains wipe up easily. It is indoor-only.

Does it need a rug pad?

On carpet it stays put. On tile, wood or other hard floors the latex action back can slide, so Garland recommends a pad or gripper.

What sizes does it come in?

The Sparta line comes in several sizes, including the 4' x 6' priced here and a 12 ft square. Check the size on the listing before buying.

Is the color true to the photos?

Not always. Garland notes dye-lot and monitor differences, and some owners report the rug arriving a different shade than shown.

Is it machine washable?

No. It is spot-clean only; vacuum regularly and blot spills with mild soap and water.

The 4' x 6' was $22.59 at eBay as of November 8, 2026, the lowest of four stores. Smaller sizes and back-to-school sales tend to run lower.

Featuring a timeless trellis pattern, it serves as the perfect addition to any room. Whether it's for a first apartment, college dorm, living room, home office, or any space in need of a classic update, this rug fits the bill. The Sparta rug is machine tufted with low pile cut and loop in durable Olefin yarn, and it comes with a traditional action-back backing. Depending on your floor type, an additional rug pad or gripper may be needed. Please note that size and color may vary slightly due to manufacturing differences, and monitor settings can cause slight color discrepancies. While the photos are as accurate as possible, the actual colors may differ slightly due to flash photography and monitor variations. Additionally, each rug is made with the same colors shown, though slight variations in dye lots may occur, resulting in subtle shade differences in the yarn.
