Product Insights
This Simons Maison Modern Checkers Rug delivers a durable, low-pile surface made from heat-set polypropylene that resists matting and shedding for 10–15 years, while water-based spills bead up for easy wiping; however, oil-based stains require prompt treatment, the firm feel provides less cushioning than plush carpets, and a rug pad is recommended for safety on hard floors.
Verified claims
- Water-based stains
- Water-based spills bead up and wipe away; colored liquids leave no dye stain.
- Oil-based stains
- Grease stains must be treated promptly to prevent bonding; use vinegar or alcohol.
- Moisture and pile
- No moisture absorption prevents mold; heat-set pile stays dense and resists matting.
- Durability
- Heat-set polypropylene resists matting and shedding, lasts 10-15 years.
- Feel
- Heat-setting gives a smooth, soft feel despite short pile.
- Pattern
- Checkers are woven into the rug, not printed, so they won't wear off.
- Chair glide
- Dining chairs glide smoothly without bunching, and the heat-set pile resists permanent dents from furniture legs.
- Cleaning
- Vacuuming with a beater bar set to medium won't snag the short, non-looped pile, and spills bead up for easy blotting.
- Cushioning
- The rug feels firm and smooth but provides less padding than a plush carpet.
- Vacuuming
- Vacuum twice weekly with a beater bar set to medium; heat-set fibers minimize loose pile.
- Maintenance
- Rotate every 3-6 months and use a rug pad; pile springs back from furniture.
- 160×230 cm
- Ideal for a compact 4-seat dining table or a front-legs-on living area.
- 200×300 cm
- Suits a 6-seat dining table or as a three-seater sofa anchor.
- 240×320 cm
- Fits an 8-seat dining table or an all-legs-on layout in larger rooms.
- Low pile
- Low pile enables smooth chair sliding and easy maintenance.
- Stain resistance
- Repels water-based spills but requires prompt blotting on oil-based stains.
- Value
- At $179 CAD, the heat-set polypropylene construction is the key difference from the $99.99 USD Luxe Weavers budget alternative.
- Non-slip backing
- Lacks non-slip backing; a rug pad is recommended for safety on hard floors.
- Trip hazard
- Low pile and heat-set polypropylene keep the rug flat and reduce tripping and snag hazards.
- Odor
- Chemical smell fades in days; fiber resists mold and stays odor-free.
- Shedding
- Heat-set construction minimizes shedding and airborne dust.
- Pile height
- The rug's pile is minimal in height, so it won't catch on heels or trap pet hair.
- High-traffic suitability
- The heat-set polypropylene construction is suited to daily foot traffic in living rooms and dining rooms, where the checker pattern keeps its crisp edges.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Modern Checkers Rug See Available Sizes: Choose this if you want a simple, elegant checkered design in a refined palette of cream, beige, grey, and black tones for a busy space: Simons states its short, shimmering polypropylene pile is stain-resistant and perfect for high-traffic areas and homes with children and pets. It comes in Off White only, in three sizes (160 x 230, 200 x 300, and 240 x 320 centimetres), with stitched cream binding and squared corners that sit flat. Note the black grid lines are slightly irregular in width and edge texture, reading as hand-drawn rather than perfectly crisp printed lines, which suits relaxed or organic-inspired decor more than a sharply graphic look.[1,2,3] | Beige Checkers Rug See Available Sizes: Choose this if you want a modern, simply elegant checker-patterned rug in cream, beige, and tan tones, with a low to medium tufted pile woven from 100% heat-set polypropylene for a shimmering, stain-resistant look. Per the retailer, it suits high-traffic areas and homes with children and pets, and it comes in three Sand-color sizes: 160 by 230 centimetres, 200 by 300 centimetres, and 240 by 320 centimetres, with a serged edge and a woven backing characterized as non-slip in imagery (not a verified performance claim). Note that its soft feel is an appearance impression from photos, and the light checker squares may show the beige fields slightly denser and warmer in tone.[4,5,6] | Two-Tone Checkerboard Rug See Available Sizes: Choose this if you want a modern, low-pile checkerboard rug in neutral tones that's ultra-soft underfoot, easy-care, and stain-resistant, with a durable heat-set polypropylene construction offered in 160 x 230 cm and 240 x 320 cm sizes and Ivory/Cream Beige or Patterned Brown colorways. Use a rug pad with it for greater safety. Note that customer reviews indicate the colors can be significantly lighter than the online photos — described as a pale beige rather than a richer brown — so this may not suit shoppers who need an exact shade.[7] |
