The Perfect Solution
I was looking to replace an entry foyer rug that has direct access off the sidewalk in an urban neighborhood. Design, style and color were important but so was durability.
Working with Ernesta was terrific. Many companies didn’t provide samples which make no sense to me. I also had questions and their customer service was extremely helpful.
The colors in the website compared to samples were very close and the online follow up about shipping kept me well informed.
When the area rug arrived with a separate backer and once I set it in place in didn’t take long for corners to lay flat.
It’s perfect and even better than expected....

Great rug but not so soft underfoot
The softness maybe my fault, I didn’t read close enough. I wanted it for a bathroom so I wanted it to be soft. It’s not rough perse but definitely not soft. Great quality, measurements were exact. THANKS!

Gorgeous rug
I ordered the Virginia is Mae in raw umber for our dining room. It is the perfect mix of sophistication and durability in earthy tones to complement a room highly frequented by grandkids and dogs in our home. We like it so much that we’re ordering an identical one for the kitchen....

Question
Which rug pad is recommended for use on luxury vinyl plank flooring?
Answer
We recommend checking with your flooring manufacturer for guidance on rug pad compatibility with luxury vinyl plank (LVP), as requirements can vary.
Most of our rug pads are generally suitable for a variety of surfaces, but some vinyl flooring can be sensitive to rubber or latex materials. Confirming with your flooring provider is the best way to ensure long-term protection....

Question
Does the border curl up and cause a tripping hazard. What can be done for that situation?
Answer
Hi Shirley! The Virginia Mae is a low profile Synthetic rug and we do recommend the Classic Felt Attached rug pad to provide added weight, allow the rug to lay flat, and prevent curling.

Question
Do y’all recommend the Virginia Mae for a staircase runner?
Answer
Yes. Virginia Mae is made from outdoor fibers and a flatweave construction, so it is great for high traffic. The thinner pile should make it easier to install as well. We recommend you show a sample to your installer before you place your order!

Question
Do you recommend Virginia Mae for under a kitchen table? And is a rug pad necessary? What is advantage of rug pad? Thanks
Answer
Hi Theresa, yes, Virginia Mae is a great style for under a kitchen table as it is one of our most durable and easy to clean styles and is also low profile. While a rug pad isn't required, it helps ensure the rug will lay flat, provides extra cushion, and will help ensure the longevity of your rug. For those reasons, we highly recommend opting for a rug pad....

Question
Do you recommend a pad if the rug is going to be in a screened porch and the flooring is limestone?
Answer
Hi Nancy! We recommend opting for our "Outdoor Attached Rug Pad" as this pad does well on flooring that is porous, like Limestone.
