Products

1. Will the color look the same as it does on your website?

While we do our best to ensure the images on our product pages, show you what the product looks like. However, since different monitors and devices can affect how products are displayed, please understand that the colors may look slightly different from the actual products.

2. Do I need the “Rug Pad”?

While some of the rugs come with "Non-Slipping Backing", we strongly recommend using a rug pad underneath most of the area rugs.

Because not only will it help to keep the rug in place, but it will also give extra cushioning that can help prevent wear and tear or premature fading of your rug.

3. Do you offer material samples or swatches?

We understand that it can be tricky to make a rug decision without first seeing how it looks in your space. If you're looking to purchase a sample, we typically don't offer them for most of the brands we carry.

However, if you order the smallest size available (as a sample) from the same collection and subsequently order a 7'x9' or larger rug, we'll give you credit for the initial purchase!

We handle these requests manually - just shoot us an email athello@rugsgate.com, and our customer support team will take care of everything.

4. Do you offer a warranty or protection plan for my purchase?

We make sure each product comes with the manufacturer's specified warranty terms, as listed on the relevant product page.

And if you're looking for extra protection, we've partnered with Extend to offer fantastic coverage (strongly recommended)- choose from 2, 3, or 5 years. You can find out more about each plan on the product page.

Last but not least, we stand behind our products - if you ever have any quality issues, just let us know, and we'll be happy to help!

5. Is it normal for rugs to shed?

Yes, it is perfectly normal for hand-made rugs to shed, especially those that contain wool.

This is a common occurrence and may be frustrating. However, the amount of shedding will reduce over time as you keep up regular and frequent vacuuming.

The more frequently you vacuum the rug, the quicker the shedding will stop altogether.

In some cases, depending on the type of rug and its construction, it can take several months before the shedding stops completely.

Nevertheless, with proper care and maintenance, your rug should remain in good condition for many years.
