Why Choose a Handmade Wool Runner from Sideboards and Things?

These runners work beautifully in narrow spaces where you need both warmth and visual appeal -- place one along a hallway to protect hardwood floors, layer one in front of a kitchen sink for cushioned standing comfort, or position one at an entryway to welcome guests with handcrafted texture. The reversible design doubles the usable life by letting you flip the rug when one side shows wear, while the crush-resistant knitted fiber filling provides cushiony support beneath the pure wool cover yarns.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this braided runner reversible?

The flat-braid construction creates identical patterns on both sides, allowing you to flip the rug for even wear and extended life.

How does space-dyed wool create the multicolor pattern?

Space-dyeing applies multiple colors along individual yarn strands before braiding, resulting in a unique multicolor look that varies slightly from rug to rug due to the random dyeing technique.

Can I use this wool runner outdoors?

No, the Astoria runner is designed for indoor use only and should be kept in covered, dry areas to preserve the wool fibers.

What size variations should I expect with a handmade rug?

Handcrafted construction may result in size variations up to ± 3% of the listed dimensions, with dye lot variations also expected due to the artisan manufacturing process.

Does this rug come with white-glove delivery or setup?

Standard delivery includes free curbside shipping to the continental USA, with white-glove delivery and in-room placement available as optional paid services upon request.

Why is virgin wool a good choice for high-traffic hallways?

Pure virgin wool retains its shape and appearance year after year while providing natural durability and a soft feel underfoot that withstands daily use in busy areas.
