John Lewis & Partners Checkerboard Jute Runner Rug, L240 x W70 cm

Expertly woven by artisan weavers, our Checkerboard rug is a great everyday piece for the home.

Perfect for high-traffic areas of the home thanks to a durable, jute-rich construction, this rug features a relaxed, checkerboard design with a wonderfully textured finish.

Plus, as jute is a natural fibre and this rug is made by hand, each one is slightly different meaning your rug is truly unique to your home.

Suitable for use in rooms with underfloor heating.

The John Lewis Foundation: This rug has been handmade in an area of India where not all children have access to education. Through the John Lewis Foundation, which was set up to help improve the well-being of disadvantaged communities, we have worked with a local charity Care & Fair India to fund the building and running of a new school offering secondary education to teenage girls who would not otherwise have this opportunity.

John Lewis Foundation, a registered charity: 11181620.The John Lewis Foundation was established to benefit communities in the UK and overseas. Since 2007, it's supported 50 charities in 9 countries promoting education, enterprise and employment.

About your new rug

• We recommend John Lewis & Partners Rug Hold Underlay. It prevents your rug from moving underfoot and protects against colour transfer to the floor
• Natural fibres may shed. This will reduce over time, and shouldn’t affect your rug’s lifespan or performance
• When vacuuming your rug, use suction only. Rotating brushes may damage the fibres
• Blot any spills with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub or use harsh detergents.
