5x7 Black & White Checkered Area Rug — Washable Low-Pile Living Room Rug
Product description
Modern checkered design: This rug shows a bold, symmetrical diamond-check pattern framed by a contrasting border that adds dimension to the center design. The palette pairs dark charcoal tones with warmer brownish accents to create a farmhouse-meets-contemporary look that works in living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, entryways, playrooms, home offices, kitchens, and more. Each purchase includes one area rug in the selected size.
Soft construction with non-slip backing: Woven from enhanced synthetic fibers, the surface offers a soft, low-pile feel while resisting rapid fading. Underneath, a textured TPR backing provides grip on hard floors so an additional rug pad is typically unnecessary. This construction keeps the rug flat and prevents shifting in daily use.
Machine-washable care: Regular upkeep can be done with vacuuming and spot cleaning using a mild detergent. For a deeper clean, the rug can be laundered in cold water on a gentle cycle and air-dried or laid flat to restore its appearance. The easy-care routine suits busy households and helps maintain freshness.
Kid- and pet-friendly design: Low profile and forgiving underfoot, the rug handles everyday traffic and the occasional spill. Its surface is quick to spot-clean, making it practical for playrooms, pet areas, and other high-use rooms where comfort and durability are both needed.
Please note: The rug may arrive folded and show temporary creases from packaging; these will relax after being laid flat for a few days or after steam ironing. Slight variations in color are normal due to different lighting conditions and screen displays.

Soft but feels flimsy
The fabric is soft, but it feels a bit weak and inexpensive to the touch.

Exactly as pictured
Looks just like the photos. Very soft, lays flat with no bunching, and feels well made. Highly recommend.

Faded quickly in sun
Loved it on my porch until the sun faded the dark color to a purplish hue within a couple months. It was very soft though.

Good for a kids' room
Used it in my kids’ play area. The tone is more muted than in photos, but it’s soft and works well for playtime.

Nice appearance but tricky to deep-clean
Attractive and didn’t have the odd beige streaks other sellers sent me. My only gripe is it’s hard to get completely clean in a washer; spot cleaning might be a better option.

Holds up to washing
Bought the large size and washed it once in a roomy machine — still super soft. My dog marks a corner sometimes, but spot-cleaning with dish soap works. Color looked less yellow than the listing image.

Very soft, great pattern
Really soft and I adore the checkered design.

Myeisha with My’s Tarot 5/5
Surprisingly plush and comfortable
I ordered a large size and was skeptical at first, but this rug is the softest I’ve bought in a long time. It’s thin but somehow very comfortable underfoot, and the quality exceeded my expectations. I’ll buy again for other rooms.

Frequent rug buyer approves
I buy rugs often and this one hits the sweet spot—affordable looking without seeming cheap. Thin yet soft, the backing keeps it from sliding, and the edge stitching is decent. I haven’t laundered it yet but spot cleaning works well.

Chala Frieze 1/5
Odd texture
The finish looked oddly plastic-like to me — not the look I expected.

Tonia 3/5
More gray than true black
The ‘black’ reads as a soft black or dark gray — the product photos looked more saturated than the actual rug.
