"Good Enough" certainly isn't "Good" when we're talking about "tufted" area rugs.
These handmade-rug look-alike's (unfortunately confused with REAL handmade rugs) are cheaply made and thus cheaper than REAL hand-knotted rugs. But their cheaper pricing masks their long-term costs.
* They have much shorter useful lifespans (five years average) compared with REAL rugs (generations).
* They're sometimes promoted as a "Green" product, but the landfills won't welcome all of the tufted rugs that will be clogging them in a short time.
* They can damage some pre-finished floors.
* They are difficult to clean, and when cleaned often no longer will lie flat on the floor.
* Vacuuming soon gives them a fuzzy, "cheap garment" appearance.
* They have an unpleasant odor (high rubber content).
This is definitely a product where thinking it might be "good enough" really is not.
