The chunky, ropey, pebbled texture and organic stonewashed look of this rug are just like jute but look closely, it’s actually scrubbable, useable, easy-to-care-for P.E.T... Durable enough for the outdoors, it will fit right in on porches and patios, yet such a treat for the feet and eyes, it's also perfect for indoor high-traffic areas in a family and pet-friendly home.
