SAFAVIEH Lyndhurst Runner Rug 2ft3ft x 6ft - Traditional Ivory Runner

Our review of the SAFAVIEH Lyndhurst runner finds it best suited to busy households that want a traditional look without high maintenance. The main reason to buy is its combination of a classic Oriental pattern and practical construction: the machine-woven polypropylene pile resists stains and sheds very little, so it stands up to high foot traffic, kids and pets while still looking like a more expensive, traditional rug.

Key Features

• Stain resistant & non-shedding: The enhanced synthetic fibers resist stains and maintain a virtually non-shedding surface for easy upkeep in busy areas.
• Kid and pet-friendly: Durable pile tolerates everyday spills and activity, making cleanup straightforward without sacrificing appearance.
• Trendy traditional design: The Persian and European inspired pattern gives an elegant, classic look that complements living rooms, hallways and bedrooms.
• Easy maintenance: Routine vacuuming and gentle blotting of spills keep the rug looking fresh with minimal effort.
• Durable construction: Machine-woven polypropylene provides a sturdy pile that resists wear in high-traffic zones.
• Fringeless borders: Clean, finished edges create a neat, modern presentation without loose fringe to catch or fray.

Who It's For

This runner is ideal for homeowners and renters who need a practical, attractive rug for entryways, hallways, kitchens or alongside beds. Families with children or pets will appreciate the stain resistance and low-shed pile, while anyone wanting a traditional Oriental aesthetic without the care needs of natural fiber rugs will find it appealing.

Those seeking an ultra-luxury wool or hand-knotted antique look with natural fiber textures should look elsewhere, since this product uses synthetic polypropylene for durability and easy care rather than natural materials or artisanal weaving.
