I did. I think the issue (from both a looks and comfort perspective) is with the (lack of) pile.

Don’t get me wrong — it’s exactly what I wanted and was expecting. If I needed a mat for my kitchen or another high-traffic area, I’d get something from them.

However, we’re moving my kids into a shared room, and we need a rug for on there. I didn’t even consider ruggable. I’m combing marketplace for used, wool Persian rugs. Whatever I get will cost more, but it will be cozier, look better, and if it already lasted a few decades, should hold up just fine.
