Rug Qustion

Oct 23, 2008 6 Replies

I was considering replacing my decrepit rugs with hardwood flooring, but now I am considering rugs instead.



I don't like the way my present rugs have always retained terrible-looking pock marks from chair and table legs, when the latter are moved.



Can someone recommend a rug type that best minimizes this problem?



Thanks

In my experience, 'berber' has been the best.

I don't like carpeting either, but I move the furniture around to prevent indentations. Or you can use furniture feet pads. A good choice for carpeting is a low pile and thin padding to prevent the marks.

Hmmm...

Wouldn't you know - the local rug dealer said to get thickest and best padding possible. On the other hand, your suggestion as to low pile sounds reasonable. Thanks

Ask Sy Sperling. He's the rug expert, and a client.
