Can't help you with the specific rug, but will endorse olefin and or polypropylene for carpeting. I've used that in most of my house and have loved it for its fade and stain resistance.

Just be aware that it crushes easily so it's best as a low height carpet or one densely packed for a better look.

The Perfect Rug seems to have a lot of good reviews on Site Jabber, I’d go with them.

Another fan of polypropylene in certain rooms. In fact, I’m waiting on this one for our kitchen (cabinets are knotty alder, the color should look great. I hope). Supposed to be here this weekend.

Keep us updated, I’d love to hear what you think if you order one of the jute looks! I have a real one I love (entry runner, 15 yrs old and going strong), but I’d be interested in a poly one, too.

Another fan of the poly rugs. We bought our first ones when the kids were little and we had huge dogs and put them in the foyer, laundry room and front hall. Those things lasted for years until we got a puppy who decided that the carpet fringe was delicious and then went on to chew the rugs. We replaced them with newer ones and when we moved gave them to the kids - they must be 20 years old by now. We bought them at Macy's, Orvis and even the big box stores.

I love the look of jute and sisal but would never buy them, they do absorb dirt, crumbs and liquid and some are not comfortable when bare foot. So if you find some please report back.

After spending some quality time with my dog I decided that I would save several thousand dollars and not get that nice rug for my living room until he's gone. I am very pleased with my cheap rug.

It's faux wool so not a replacement for sisal or jute and I don't know that you can get a decent looking faux grass rug. If you find one and it's actually soft, it seems like that would be a big deal that you must report on!

Jinx, I’m unfamiliar with Site Jabber. Thanks for doing the legwork for me! Where is your rug from?

I’m going to order samples from Sisal Rugs and from The Perfect Rug. The decorator is coming this afternoon. I want to make sure I know what her vision is before I start ordering samples Willy-nilly.

Didn’t realize it would crush easily. I’ll keep that in mind.

Any other places I should look? I googled “sisal-look polypropylene“ to find the two places I mentioned. I tried looking on Overstock but quickly fell down a rabbit hole and lost my concentration.

Bb, ha, I totally agree about Overstock! Funnily enough, that’s where I ordered the nuLOOM rug above. I actually saw it on another site, then Overstock came up in a search ... and had the best deal. It’s the first time I’ve ever ordered anything from them. They’ve been great about shipping updates, etc so far.

There was a young woman on here who bought a rug from Overstock that she first saw on Horchow. She said she saved a couple thousand dollars! It takes focus and perseverance!

Does anyone have experience with 100% polyester? This rug from RH looks pretty good. Do you think the style name, Rafina, is supposed to make us think of raffia?

The only thing I know about polyester is that if you wear the wrong shoes, you can experience static cling and getting shocked after you walk on it. I've had this experience with upholstery also and make sure I don't wear certain shoes with it, but we've gotten rid of that upholstered furniture anyway, which was a kind of chenille.

Do you read the Young House Love blog? They recently added a sisal-like rug on their stairs.
