Are dhurrie rugs durable?
1 Answer

Whether or not dhurrie rugs are durable is largely a matter of personal opinion. Like all rugs, the floor coverings show signs of wear and tear eventually due to the effects of foot traffic. However, the flat pile and tightly woven construction makes them stronger options than some other types of rugs. You'll find a collection of dhurrie rugs on 1stDibs.
