Exactly what I was looking for

Could not be happier with my Ernesta rug! It looks gorgeous, is not too rough to touch, and fits the room perfectly. Love how I got a sample beforehand so I could order with confidence too. Have already recommended to my parents and friends. Will definitely buy more!

Pretty but rough

This carpet looks pretty but is really really rough and hurts bare feet. My family was working on a project in the space with the new rug and looked down at the soles of our feet and were shocked to see them marked and red and sore from walking and standing on the rug. Not recommended for crawling babies and their...

Hello Dilcia! Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're sorry to hear you had that experience! Calpurnia is a tight weave natural fiber style which is very durable, but not as soft as our other natural fiber styles underfoot. Please reach out to help@ernesta.com so that we can better support you!

Great rug!

The dimensions were perfect. It took a little longer than expected to get here-so took one star off. Beautiful rug and seems like good quality.

Calpurnia Q&A

7 answered questions
Question

Is it possible to get matching stair treads? (roughly 8"-9" by 24"-27")

Answer
Hi Pgolay! Unfortunately, due to the custom nature of our rugs, we cannot guarantee that each piece will be the exact same size. The dimensions you are interested in also fall below our minimum size threshold.

Question

Do the edges of this rug curl up? (I can't use rug tape.)

Answer
Hi Karen, our rugs are stored on rolls, so they have a tendency to retain shape for the first few weeks. This is normal and the rug will lie flat eventually, however, we do recommend helping "retrain" the fibers to remain flat more quickly, like folding them the opposite direction or laying books on top of them. Larger rugs tend to relax more quickly than smaller rugs, and an attached rug pad can help the rug lay flat more quickly. Please reach out to us at help@ernesta.com for more information!

Question

Interested in Calpurnia 6x9. Do I need a rug pad? Rather not have one. Does rug look the same as the top?

Answer
Hi Auri, we recommend a rug pad as it will help elongate the lifespan of your rug, hold it in place, and provide extra cushion, among other benefits. The rug should be represented by the images on this webpage, but you can also order a sample to see it in person!

Asked: August 20, 2024
Question

Is the attached rug pad necessary to keep it from sliding, or just for extra cushion?

Answer
Hi Hannah, the latex backing on our Calpurnia style is non-skid and will keep your rug from sliding, so the pad in your instance would be for the added cushion.

Question

Is there backing on sisal rugs?

Answer
Yes, our Sisal rugs come with a very thin latex backing which helps make it non-slip.
