Stone & Beam Transitional Criss-Cross Wool Area Rug, 8’x10′, Blue and White

This is a very heavy, thick 8 foot runner.
The predominant color is white with blue criss cross weaving.
The ends have fringe.

The item arrives in a heavy cardboard box and the rug is snugly wrapped in plastic. It took some time to get mine out (which is fine with me: I prefer to have things properly shipped).

The runner ended up being a good match for a hallway which has lighter colored carpet underneath. The runner sort of takes the brunt of the foot traffic in that area.

My only issue is with the fringe at the end. My vacuum gets tangled in that fringe every time and it takes extra effort to avoid this. I generally don’t like fringed rugs for this reason. However, in this case, they add aesthetic value.

Overall – if you like thick and heavy wool rugs then this runner is of high quality and would likely work in your application.

When I unrolled the Stone & Beam Transitional Criss-Cross Wool Runner, I was dazzled by the design and the quality of its weave and materials. The wool is sumptuous and looks to be durable. The backing is super well made and the thick tassels (finger width) are solidly woven in. The rug is manufactured in India. It has about ½” thick pile lending to a sturdy feel and underfoot comfort. The actual fiber content is: Wool 80%/Cotton 20%. Care instructions suggest refraining from using a vacuum with beater bar, instead use sweeper and clean surface with a cloth and/or professional rug cleaning. It looks like it’s made to stand up to a lot of use, perfect in a house with teenagers and cats.

I love how this rug opens up space in my family room with its criss-cross pattern and long proportions.

Our “Stone & Beam Transitional Wool Runner” features a beige-grey background with a simple blue criss-cross design that blends remarkably well with our décor. The 2’6″ x 8′ size makes this runner versatile and adaptable for alternate locations within our home.The runner we have is 80% wool and 20% cotton; the texture of the wool pile gives a luxurious feel underfoot. The fringe at the ends adds a unique effect to the simplicity of the design.

I noted that various reviews suggest different cleaning instructions. Our label provided specific instructions for care including vacuuming.

We are pleased with our selection.

Love the look and feel of this rug in our home. We have darker manufactured wood floors and this just POPS against the dark color of the flooring. I love that my kids can play on this and it feels super comfy underfoot. We put this between the TV/bookcases and the coffee table because I don’t like huge area rugs, but still wanted someplace soft for us to sit on the floor. It works perfectly. This also cleans up really nicely – already had a doggo accident on it and it came right out. Mine says 100% wool content. Obviously looks high end.

This is such a beautiful rug.

The light cream with the medium blue criss cross is attractive. This is a berber style and they hold up very well.

Plus it is wool.

The tassels are braided and secured at ends. This will keep them looking beautiful and intact.

No beater bars on runner and I use brush attachment on tassels.

Weight of some substance as well.

Comfortable underfoot. Laid flat almost immediately.

Absolutely love this rug! I’m disabled and getting to my scooter from my bed is difficult on our bare floor. I replaced a thick wool rug with this one. The old rug was slippery for me too because of it’s high pile but this rug is perfect. It doesn’t have a high pile and my bare feet don’t slide on it. I really like the simple design, too. It goes with anything, it even looks good with my pink walls. The price isn’t unreasonable at all, for the size of the rug.
It’s great!

This cross cross blue and cream rug is beautiful! I have the 4×6 size and plan on layering it on a jute brown rug in my small guest living room area. The rug feels and looks well made and high end. So far it hasn’t shedded like other wool rugs I’ve owned, which is awesome. I’ve received many compliments on it so far. Very happy and plan to order more products from this brand.

We really like the Stone & Beam wool rugs, they are a great value. This is our second rug and just like the first it is a very high quality wool rug. This one sits a little lower to the floor, only about half an inch thickness but it is a very tight and dense weave. Works great in our large bedroom that has a white and light blue color scheme. Very highly recommended.
