At Ernesta, we take the safety of our products seriously. The majority of our products are made with natural materials: wool, jute, sisal and seagrass that are not treated with any topical chemicals. Wool rugs naturally filter the air around them and neutralize contaminants, making them an excellent option for low-toxic conscious households.
Our synthetic products similarly do not receive any coatings or treatments and the yarns are safe for people and pets. That being said, most of our rugs have a backing that is glued to the rug. This backing helps the integrity of the rugs by reinforcing the weave and fibers, which also helps prevent shedding.
All of our products meet California's new stringent PFA bans and VOC limits for home textile products. Although our rugs meet US Consumer Business Standards, they have not been tested for OKEO-TEX.

Any pattern on your rug is a fixed size and will not scale based on the size of your rug. Instead, a larger rug will show more repeats of the same size pattern. For scale reference, each style includes a full size rug photo representing a 5' x 8' size. If you need additional help, our design experts can create a rendering for you, free of charge. Simply reach out at design@ernesta.com.

You can also refer to our Sizing Guide for step-by-step directions as well as tips and tricks for measuring your space.
Our team works diligently to ensure that your rug is cut to the exact dimensions requested but please note that due to the custom fabrication process, there is a small possibility that there can be a 2 inch +/- variation for both length and width.

If you don't want to keep your old rug, consider one of these suggestions:
Donate it: If the rug is still in good condition, consider donating it to a local charity or thrift store. Someone else may be able to make use of it.
Upcycle it: Old rugs can be repurposed into a variety of items, such as a pet bed, a cushion, or even a wall hanging. Get creative and think of ways to use your old rug that suits your personal taste and style.
Sell it: If the rug is still in good condition, you can try selling it online or at a local consignment shop.
Recycle it: Some recycling centers accept old rugs, especially if they are made from natural fibers such as wool. Check with your local recycling center to see if they accept old rugs.
Dispose of it: If the rug is beyond repair or in poor condition, you may need to dispose of it. Check with your local waste management company to see if they accept rugs or if they have specific instructions for how to dispose of them.
