Expensive for quality
I expected something much heartier for the price. Disappointing. Wouldn't do buy again.

Beautiful rug
Very happy with the quality of this rug. As soon as we put it down, it laid flat immediately. It was so nice to be able to order the exact size I needed and exact color. Love that you can order samples, and the customer service is 5+ stars!

Easy and looks great
The process was very easy and the rug was just what we had hoped for. The large samples made it easy to envision the rug in the space.

Calpurnia Q&A
7 answered questions
Question
Is it possible to get matching stair treads? (roughly 8"-9" by 24"-27")
Answer
Hi Pgolay! Unfortunately, due to the custom nature of our rugs, we cannot guarantee that each piece will be the exact same size. The dimensions you are interested in also fall below our minimum size threshold.

Question
Do the edges of this rug curl up? (I can't use rug tape.)
Answer
Hi Karen, our rugs are stored on rolls, so they have a tendency to retain shape for the first few weeks. This is normal and the rug will lie flat eventually, however, we do recommend helping "retrain" the fibers to remain flat more quickly, like folding them the opposite direction or laying books on top of them. Larger rugs tend to relax more quickly than smaller rugs, and an attached rug pad can help the rug lay flat more quickly. Please reach out to us at help@ernesta.com for more information!

Question
Interested in Calpurnia 6x9. Do I need a rug pad? Rather not have one. Does rug look the same as the top?
Answer
Hi Auri, we recommend a rug pad as it will help elongate the lifespan of your rug, hold it in place, and provide extra cushion, among other benefits. The rug should be represented by the images on this webpage, but you can also order a sample to see it in person!

Question
Is the attached rug pad necessary to keep it from sliding, or just for extra cushion?
Answer
Hi Hannah, the latex backing on our Calpurnia style is non-skid and will keep your rug from sliding, so the pad in your instance would be for the added cushion.

Question
Is there backing on sisal rugs?
Answer
Yes, our Sisal rugs come with a very thin latex backing which helps make it non-slip.
