Appearance and Style

Pros:

• "It adds so much to our living room, not to mention it has a non skid backing, a definite plus for hardwood floors."

• "This rug looks like it could be authentic and real!"
• "Get MANY compliments on this and many ask if it is real."
• "They look like real cowhide and are even better than the pictures could ever show."

Cons:

• "This rug would be excellent except when it arrived and I laid it out, there were straight lines all across it making it look obviously fake."
• "When you first open it it looks fake because of the printed image and the creases."
• "I don't dislike this rug, however, I ordered a cheaper one as well to compare the two. The cheaper one won for me by a landslide. This one doesn't have the same level of detail, it just looks like blocks of color."
• "I guess it depends on what you like. When I ordered this, I wanted something that LOOKED like a REAL cowhide. This DOES NOT."
• "I’m going for the cigar lounge, masculine look in my place so I brought this to 'try' it out. Although it did look good, it wasn’t what I was looking for so I returned it and opted for the real thing."

• "The rug was very nice, the only thing it was a lot smaller than the description."

Value and Quality

Pros:

• "Great price for what you get."
• "This is a great value for the price. The rig is good quality And soft."
• "Great value for what it is. It’s VERY slick and shiny...coffee table slides all over and you don’t want to walk on this as it is very slippery."
• "This faux cowhide area rug is fantastic. The material is light enough that it can be packed into a tiny little cube — very helpful for shipping."
• "It was such a great value for the money I couldn't turn down getting it."
• "This rug exceeded my expectations! It is soft and stays in place on the floor."
• "It is so soft and beautiful. I have seen rugs that look like this that sell for $300+ in stores. Absolutely a must buy and a great value for your $$!!!"

Cons:

• "It should be rolled or at the very least, not folded so many times."
• "There are permanent creases on the material because it is heavy and they folded it instead of putting it on a roll I cannot get the creases to come out it looks horrible I like the rug but you should never Fold It material that heavy."
• "Why oh why is a rug of this price, especially one that is supposed to resemble cowhide sent in a small plastic carrying case?"
• "Nowhere near the size described. Returned it and they gave me a gift card instead of giving my money back."
• "Not worth $80.....maybe $20."
• "I just don’t feel the quality justifies the price here."
• "I guess I just received a dud. Was very excited about this one and I am disappointed that I received one with a defect."

Practicality and Maintenance

Pros:

• "I have 5 dogs and two that are 13 years old and 15 years old and have accidents occasionally and I have washed the rug three times now and it comes out like brand new every time I let it air dry and it soft and beautiful every time definitely worth the money."
• "The non-skid backing works well, too."
• "Does not slide all over the place and even hovers well."
• "Regular wash and then dried on low heat. Came out just fine and extra soft so I'd give it a 5 star."
• "The rug itself is light-weight so it will easily go into the washer and dryer without any concern of overloading the machine."
• "Incredibly soft, love that it's machine washable."
• "This rug is so easy to vacuum the hair up off of."

Cons:

• "i bought this rug because it was the only cow skin hide look alike with a 'Non Slip Backing'. this is false. my rug is completely velvety soft on both sides and constantly bunches up on the floor."
• "It’s a bit slippery when you walk on it with socks."
• "Couldn't give 5 star for how easy it is to clean, because I just got it and I do not know how easy it will be to clean."
• "Every time you step on it, it moves because there’s no weight to it."
• "I find the backing to be very slippery."
• "The only thing I don't like about it is the backing (suede-like) causes it to slide and bunch up when walked on."
• "The rug comes folded up, so it still has wrinkles in it."
