Beautiful Rugs!
We ordered 2 Zala Joy Ocean rug with the padding. They are of excellent quality and the binding job was very well done. We are extremely pleased!

Fantastic, durable and beautiful!
We have had Zala Joy in our dining room for over 2 years. I am more than thrilled with how it has stood up to pet accidents, spills, and a family of 4. I was originally worried when our designer suggested a white rug- this one has delivered. I have several other wool rugs in our house that cost the same or more as Ernesta, and they all have stains or are shaggy- looking. I may replace them soon with another Ernesta design!...

Great for Office
We needed a larger, flatweave rug for our rolling office chairs. This one is perfect. The blues are lovely.

Beautiful!
Love our new DR rug! I like the attached rug pad because it fits well under doors and doesn’t add bulk.

Question
I need to order a long hall rug that would be 3 feet x 17 feet. Is ZALA JOY stiff enough to stay straight in a very long hallway? How well does the non skid backing hold it's position on hardwood floors? I don't want to have to keep straightening the runner in the hallway. Please advise....
Answer
Hi Lori! The Zala Joy would make a great style for a hallway runner of 17'. We would encourage you to get the Classic Felt Attached pad which makes the rug non slip and will hold the rug in place.

Question
Is it possible to bind the ocean color in something other than white? If so, what have you seen done?
Answer
Hi Lisa! We are not able to customize the serged edge on the Zala Joy at this time.

Question
Is this rug easy to clean? We have 2 dogs and a cat and need something by that will stand up to dirty paws.
Answer
Hi Elle! The Zala Joy Raindrop is a great style that is 90% wool/10% cotton, so will be durable and the color will work to camouflage dirt and wear well. I would encourage ordering a sample to test this style in your home!

Question
Is the Zala Joy flatweave rug flat enough to clear most doors?
Answer
Zala Joy is .52" high, making it one of our flatter styles and able to clear many doors. We still recommend measuring your specific space and door to ensure it will work for you.

Question
How thick is this (with and without a pad)?
Answer
Zala Joy has a .52" pile height and the rug pad will add .25" to the height.
