May 11, 2023 5 min read

Besides the kitchen, the living room is the primary hangout place for most families. I like to see it as a jack-of-all-trades room. It can be the kids' play area where forts are built and battles are won. It can be a spot for a quiet retreat with a good book in hand. It can be where guests gather for a chatter when you're hosting.

Great functional kids chair

Love that this chair is tested for chemicals and it's not toxic for kids, which is important to my family. Also love that the fabric unzips for easy cleaning, love that it can fold down into a little day bed. I would highly recommend this if you want something minimal design and easy to clean!

Lovely addition to our son’s room!

After looking through dozens of options, online for a rug in our sons room, we came across Rugs by Roo. We are so happy we found this company! They have lots of different options and patterns, and we also like the fact that the rug we chose was cotton and washable. It arrived quickly after ordering and is incredibly soft; perfect for an infant to lie and crawl on. We are really happy with the purchase and would highly recommend this company!

This totally warms our heart, Tim. Seeing the beautiful smile makes every ounce of our work worth it. It really means a lot to us.
Much love, Sandy

Extreme shedding

I really love the look and that this rug is safe for my baby ... but after 6 months I'm giving up and buying something else - it SHEDS SO MUCH!! Specifically, it sheds more on my black dog than he sheds on the rug, it fills the Dyson vacuum in <5 minutes EVERY time it has ever been vacuumed and shows no signs of slowing down, don't even think about walking in the room wearing black leggings, and my baby gets wool fluff in her mouth and eyes any time I set her down on the rug.

I understand that shedding is part of life with shag wool, but this is the most-high maintenance rug I have ever encountered. It might be nice for a guest room, but it just isn't suited for a space where you will ever sit/play on the floor.

Hi Kristen,
Thank you so much for giving us feedback on this rug. I am extremely concerned that your baby is ingesting wool fibres from the rug. We typically do not recommend a wool rug for children under the age of 3 for this specific reason.
Have you tried giving the rug a wash in the washing machine? That should help alleviate most of the shedding.
I do understand that this rug was quite an investment for you and I am committed to you having a floor solution for your child. Is it okay for me to reach out to you today to see if we can offer you an alternative that would be better suited for your child?
Please do let me know.
Sandy

Lorena Canals Atlas Vintage Blue Machine Washable Area Rug

Love, love, love!

Can’t express enough delight as we received the rings for baby’s nursery. The quality and customer service are both unmatched! Super soft and shaggy while nontoxic for baby - it’s all in the details and these rugs are perfect! And the fact the rugs can be machine washed is everything. Nursery is coming together!
