Whenever we make a purchase, we’re always considering the longevity and utility of the piece. We went with the 4 x 6, which retails for approximately $184. The Geometric Diamond Rug we tested is one of the most popular styles and ranges from around $50 for the smallest 2 x 3-foot size and goes up to just over $1,400 for the largest size, measuring 12 x 16 feet. Price: Quality, style, and versatility make it worth the higher price pointĭash & Albert is an Annie Selke company, a home goods brand known for its “approachable elegance.” We can attest to the quality, and details like handmade construction with fair labor practices add to its appeal, making it worthy of the higher price tag. The extremely durable construction of the rug gives us confidence that it will hold up in the long term. We took an all-purpose spray cleaner and a scrub brush to a corner of the rug that had become a little dingy and found it brightened right up, without causing any fray to the rug fibers. Instead, dust and dirt seem to sit atop the fibers where they can be swept or hosed away with relative ease.įortunately, for more persistent signs of wear and tear, the rug is designed to hold up to harsher methods of cleaning.

So how did our rug fare out there? After a few days outdoors, we simply swept the rug to clear it of leaves, and it was good as new. Dash & Albert does recommend using a rug pad to prevent slippage, but we anchored the rug with furniture instead and didn’t have any problems. Whatever it is, we like it! It’s quite cushiony underfoot, even without a rug pad. Perhaps the rug’s handmade braided rope flatweave construction is responsible for the great texture. Some outdoor rugs feel more like a glorified yoga mat than an actual rug, but this one is surprisingly soft.
