I have two small yorkies and 4 grandchildren so if I want rugs on my hardwood floors, I turned to Ruggable as the answer. Overall, I’m pretty happy with the rugs and like the multiple patterns they have. I bought a plush rug which was 5 x 7. It was a huge mistake. It looked terrible after just one washing I give credit to the author who did a lot more to try and make it look better. I threw it out and I called and complained. It’s still cost me a lot of money even though they tried to make it right. My experience, the rugs do you shrink and it makes them hard to completely go over the pad but given the fact that I can wash them so I feel my house is a little bit more sanitary. I’ll keep buying them.

In reply to Le B.. VERY well said. I can't disagree.

I have 6 Ruggable pads and 12 covers, none are more than 2 years old. 4 of the pads are fine and 5 of the covers are in decent shape (although 2 have been in storage for over a year and not used). Ruggable has replaced 4 covers and one pad due to defects (and sent an incorrect size replacement pad, which is why 2 covers have been unused for so long). I have experienced fading, edge curling, shrinkage, and binding snags on multiple rug covers. Their customer service is good and the product is water resistant to spills, which I like. However, I have laundered all rugs on cold water and air dried and had all these issues. I can not recommend them. They are more interested in coming out with new “premium” covers than fixing the very well known issues reported by many customers on their Facebook group.

I think perhaps you should qualify your review about the shag rug. When you sit at a desk, the area under your feet receives more wear and tear than a rug that experiences a normal amount of traffic, hence it wears down more quickly. That’s why an Office Chair Mat is used. Also, your chair doesn’t have wheels so your feet probably stay in the same spot most of the time. Also, I think a shag rug is more appropriate for a low-traffic area, such as under a coffee table or next to a bed. As an aside, I think your video production and presentation (including using a script rather than “winging it”) was very good. And thank you for not starting with a “Hey guys,…”.

In reply to Michele Rosendale. They've been okay. There's a section in the blog about them; I feel like they shrunk a bit.

So how did the other two rugs that were not shag hold up those 12 mos?

Your longterm review was really helpful as I’ve been considering ruggable after hearing great things about them. I’ll still consider them, but maybe not for the higher traffic areas where it’ll need to be washed more often.
