RUGGABLEx Hendesi Heriz Washable 8x10 Large Area Rug, Abalone, Premium Vintage Rugs for Living Room, Bedroom, Kitchen, Office, Classroom with Gripper Non Slip Pad

After trying another brand and realizing it was a no go in my machine I opted for this Ruggable. First thing out of the box was to make sure it fit into my LG that can take a California king. Check!!! Next was the rollout. I would say that I could have done it nicer with someone else helping but it still layed out great on the pad. I did a lot of smoothing and out of the box it laid flat. Amazing. This is the 8 X 10 so kinda big for a shorty like me. It is way softer than I expected. My last real rug wasn’t this soft. If you are looking for cushy pad this isn’t for you. With that said…this pad is great and does not slide at all on my laminate wood floors. My 60lb labradoodle gets zoomies and it stays in place. My main purpose was for function with 4 dogs…3 are seniors. Most of the washable rugs including the other brand have a typical washout color look to them. This particular pattern makes it flow well with the colors. I honestly wasn’t scared to get this which is on the light side because I can throw it in the wash! I haven’t washed it yet but I plan to in the next week or two. I’m interested to know if the outer edge of the rug will hold up. Hope to update this review after the wash.

Let me just say that the design of this rug is gorgeous. It brightened up my living room tremendously and I feel happy every time I look at the room now.However... this is the most expensive rug I own yet has the cheapest feel out of any rug I've seen. It's very thin and flimsy in order to be washable which makes it constantly move and wrinkle without a pad... now when you add the pad to avoid this, it becomes a nightmare to assemble three large sticky pieces together wrinkle free.. so much so that I will think a hundred times before I even attempt to wash it because putting it together is that hard even after following instructions.As of now, because I had to assemble it alone with a running toddler around after an hour or so of trying, I failed and you can still still see obvious wrinkles. So I will be asking for help then try again.Even after the assembly, if you ignore the wrinkles, you can't ignore that it still looks like a thick paper and sounds like a plastic bag everytime you step on it because of the weird texture of the pad.I wish there was a way to get this beautiful design with the quality of a regular rug so I can ditch the pad, even if I sacrifice the washable aspect of it.

With 4 dogs and 5 young grandkids at my horse farm, there is no way I can invest in fine rugs. But your home sure can look fine with these rugs!!
