Not All Buffalo Hides Are Created Equal – Which One’s Right for You?
If you’re looking to add a touch of rustic luxury to your home, buffalo hide rugs are a perfect choice. But not all buffalo hides are created equal. At Buffalo Depot, we offer four distinct grades of buffalo hide rugs, each with its own unique qualities and price points. In this guide, we’ll break down the differences between each grade to help you find the perfect fit for your space and budget.
Why Choose Buffalo Hide Rugs?
Buffalo hide rugs are not only beautiful and luxurious but also incredibly durable and versatile. They can be used in a variety of ways, including:
• Rugs – Add warmth and texture to your floors.
• Throws – Drape over furniture for a cozy, layered look.
• Wall Decor – Make a bold statement as a natural wall hanging.
• Blankets and Robes – Wrap yourself in plush softness.
But before you make a purchase, it’s important to understand the different grades of buffalo hides and what each one offers.
1. Deluxe Buffalo Hide Rugs – The Best of the Best
