About Our Rugs 

Are the colors in online images a true representation of the original product?

The images displayed on our site have the most accurate colors that we can display through digital media.

Note: The variations in colors may occur with handmade items since they are a work of local craftsmen. Some patterns may lose their definition with size.

Why are the rug cover and rag pad different in sizes?

Our Rug Pads are intended to be slightly smaller than our Rug Covers for ease of assembly and to remain out of view.

Where are RugKnots rug covers made?

Our rug covers are made in the USA with imported material.

Is the variation in product dimension a manufacturer defect? The variations in product size are not a manufacturer defect. Since we obtain rugs from different vendors to provide you with the best quality product; you may notice a change in product dimension up to 3-5%. We promise it is nothing you need to worry about. The rug will still look great!

Should I buy a rug pad?

Yes. We recommend you purchase a non-slip rug pad so that your rug doesn’t slide around on the surface.

Note: Sliding on hard surfaces can cause your rug to wear.

Is the shedding of my rug normal?

Yes, it is normal. New rugs shed a few yarn fibers. Depending on the type of weave and the area of placement, the rug will continue to shed throughout its life span.

Note: Vacuum your rug regularly to pick up loose fibers and keep the rug clean

No, we don’t use any such substance except for wearable grade glue which is used for bonding apparel fabric.

No, there is no such chance except the change due to your screen or monitor settings and/or your room's lighting conditions.
