- Is this rug plush or flat?
- It is a flat-weave kilim with no pile. It feels firm underfoot and works well under furniture and in doorways.
- Does it need a rug pad?
- A pad is recommended on hard floors. It adds grip, reduces slipping and softens the firm feel a little.
- Is wool a good choice for a dining room?
- Yes. Wool is durable and naturally stain-resistant, and the flat weave lets chairs slide without catching.
- Will the colors match the photos?
- Stripes are multicolor and can look more vivid or more muted depending on lighting. Expect some variation between screens and the rug.
- How does it compare with a pile rug?
- It is thinner, easier to clean and better under doors, but it offers less cushioning and warmth than a plush pile rug.
- Does it shed?
- Some shedding is normal for new wool flat weaves. It usually settles after a few weeks of vacuuming without a beater bar.
