Rochbo Gray 5' x 8' Rug

Because this rug is made from 100% authentic leather, you may notice a mild, natural leather aroma when it is first unrolled. This is a characteristic of high-quality genuine hide and is not a sign of chemical treatments. Any initial scent typically dissipates within a few days as the rug acclimates to the ventilation in your home.

This rug is meticulously crafted from 100% genuine leather, a material naturally prized for its exceptional resilience and long-term durability. Its hand-made construction and low-profile design (approximately 0.25 inches thick) make it an ideal choice for high-traffic zones. The thin, sturdy profile ensures the rug remains flat, reducing trip hazards and allowing most standard doors to swing over it easily without catching.

Since leather is a natural, porous material, it requires specialized care to stay in peak condition. For spills, our experts recommend blotting the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth to prevent the liquid from soaking into the fibers. For routine maintenance, you can lightly wipe the surface with a damp cloth. To prevent the leather from drying out or cracking—especially in drier climates—apply a high-quality leather conditioner every 6 to 12 months to maintain its characteristic suppleness.

Unlike the plush feel of a traditional wool or shag carpet, this rug offers a more structured and sophisticated tactile experience. The hand-made striped design is created by weaving genuine leather strips together, resulting in a firm, smooth surface. This unique texture provides a "rustic-modern" feel that is pleasant underfoot while adding a layer of contemporary sophistication to your décor.

A 5' x 8' rectangle rug is a versatile choice for smaller living spaces or studio apartments. It is perfectly sized to anchor a central seating group, typically fitting comfortably under the front legs of a sofa and extending past a coffee table. This helps define the "living zone" in an open-concept layout without making the room feel crowded.

While leather is incredibly durable, it is sensitive to high levels of moisture. In humid climates, it is best to place this rug in a climate-controlled indoor room. Based on our expertise with natural materials, we recommend avoiding high-moisture areas like bathrooms or laundry rooms, as excessive humidity can lead to warping or the development of mildew over time.
