Does this rug need a rug pad?

It has a non-slip backing, so a pad is optional. On slick floors or with heavy furniture, a thin pad adds grip and cushioning.

Can it go in a washing machine?

No. It is spot clean only. Vacuum on a low-suction setting and blot spills promptly.

How thick is the pile?

The pile is 1.7 inches, which is a true high-pile shag. Doors may drag over it, so check clearance.

Some shedding is normal for shag rugs when new. It usually settles after a few weeks of vacuuming and use.

What size is it and where does it fit?

It measures 5 by 7 feet, a good fit for a bedroom, a small living room or under a coffee table.

Is it safe on hardwood floors?

The backing is designed to reduce slipping, but on smooth hardwood a pad gives better hold.

Our take on the Nefoso 5ft x 7ft Soft Fluffy Shag Area Rug, Dark Gray

The Nefoso is a 5 by 7 foot machine-made shag rug with a 1.7-inch high pile and a non-slip backing. It is built for softness underfoot in living rooms and bedrooms, and its dark gray tone hides dirt better than pale shags. Against rivals like nuLOOM and Safavieh shag rugs, it is lighter at about 5 pounds and relies on its sprayed backing rather than a woven one, and it is not machine washable. Owners like the plush feel and the price-to-size ratio, but some report shedding and flattened pile in walked-on areas.
