This braided area rug has looping cut-out patterns that remind us of nautical ropes. It's handmade from polyester in a circle with rows of different geometric shapes in a hazy coastal gray. Its material has excellent resistance to mildew and aging. We love how its 0.24" low pile height makes this rug an ideal base for busy spaces. This rug includes a polyester backing, but we recommend pairing it with a rug pad to prevent it from slipping or sliding underfoot.
