I did. I think the issue (from both a looks and comfort perspective) is with the (lack of) pile.

Don’t get me wrong — it’s exactly what I wanted and was expecting. If I needed a mat for my kitchen or another high-traffic area, I’d get something from them.

However, we’re moving my kids into a shared room, and we need a rug for on there. I didn’t even consider ruggable. I’m combing marketplace for used, wool Persian rugs. Whatever I get will cost more, but it will be cozier, look better, and if it already lasted a few decades, should hold up just fine.

We just made a purchase from ruggable, and I wouldn’t even call it a rug. It’s more like a mat. It’s in an area where you can also see our (wool) living room and entryway rugs. And the ruggable looks and feels so flat and lackluster compared to them.

That said, we have two small (messy) children and this is the floor covering for under our dining table, so it serves its purpose.

However, if you’re looking for a real rug that will last, go wool. I have 70+ year old wool rugs that still look amazing. Just make sure you have the right cleaning products for it (including for if your dog makes a mess).
