Are hand-tufted rugs durable?
Is it a good idea to buy hand-tufted rugs as they are inexpensive compared to hand-knotted rugs ? On average how long does both types last ?

Hand-tufted rugs are made by hand the fibers are gunned in to the backing. They are much nicer than machine made rugs. They are almost always wool and will wear for many years. It depends do you want your rug to last 10-30 years or forever. Hand knotted rugs get passed down from generation to generation. If you like to remodel frequently I would suggest hand-tufted, if you’d like to keep the piece I would suggest hand knotted. Purchase the rug you love. Hand knotted rugs are quite expensive compared to hand-tufted and machine made area rugs.
Approximate cost comparison of 5 x 7 area rugs.
Machine made area rug $100-$500.
Hand- tufted would be $300-$800
Hand-knotted will be $400-$1000
Take care.
