Michael Jordan Basketball Kids Rug
Michael Jordan Basketball Kids is for the customer who wants the result, not the production story.
Construction
In one line: Produced in China. Chinese mills produce some of the most consistent machine-made rugs in the world, and this piece reflects that. Polyester pile carries a soft, slightly silken hand-feel — it's a step up in plushness from polypropylene without losing the easy-care benefit. A 6mm pile keeps this piece flat enough for a dining room or hallway where dragged chairs would chew up a deeper weave. Density is what matters with a piece like this — it is what gives the rug its longevity.
About the look
What is happening at the surface is straightforward. Reds are bold by nature and reward rooms with enough scale to carry them — high ceilings, good light, generous walls. Stand a metre back and the pattern recedes into texture — that quality is why the rug reads calm rather than busy. The longer you sit in a room with this rug, the less you notice it — which is exactly what a good rug is meant to do.
Practical notes
In practice, this style sits well over pale oak floorboards, particularly when the rest of the room runs to soft Dulux Whisper White interiors. For shaggy polyester piles, vacuum on a higher setting (or with the beater bar off) and shake the rug out periodically. Rolling vacuum, ride-on toys, the cat — none of it bothers the surface in any way you will notice.
Which size?
If this is going under a dining table, measure the table and add at least 60cm on each side so the chairs stay on the rug when pulled out. The Rug Size Guide walks through the details.
Order Michael Jordan Basketball Kids if the room is asking for a quiet, well-made foundation rather than a feature piece.
Things customers ask
How do I get rid of a stain?
Blot — never rub. Cool water and a small amount of mild detergent on a clean cloth handles most spills. Work from the outside of the stain in. Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals.
Will it cope with kids and pets?
Yes, comfortably. Synthetic pile is stain-resistant, doesn't snag under claws, and lifts spills cleanly. It's the construction we recommend most to growing families.
Does this rug ship rolled or folded?
Rolled. We ship every rug in our range rolled and wrapped — folding can leave a crease in the pile that takes a few weeks to settle out, so we avoid it.
Will it sit flat once unrolled?
Almost always within 24–48 hours. If you see any waves from the rolled packaging, lay the rug pile-up in the room and let it relax overnight — gravity does the rest. For stubborn corners, rolling the rug briefly in the opposite direction usually does it.
Is the colour the same on both sides?
No — the pile side is the finished face. The reverse shows the construction and is usually a slightly different colour because the dye penetrates the surface rather than the entire fibre.
