I am selling this item because I purchased it online but have not had the opportunity to use it. A jute rug is a rug woven from natural fibers called jute. Jute is a fiber obtained from the stems of the jute plant (Corchorus capsularis), a plant in the mallow family, and is a durable material also used for things like burlap sacks and ropes. When used as a rug, its rough texture and natural atmosphere are attractive, and it is also popular as an interior accent. Please note that due to the rough texture, you may feel a slight prickliness. It will be shipped folded.
