Ok so as someone who was part of the original Wayfair threads when it was being found on Reddit I was a little sceptical at this post, and I definitely feel more digging is necessary rather than just finding an expensive piece of furniture that matches the name of a missing child.
First of all, Redellin Mcfall went missing on August 16, 2020, not in January of this year as OP has stated. Secondly, a 40k rug isnt really all that unheard of, there are rugs that can easily reach 6 figures because of all the effort and time that goes into making them.
HOWEVER
If you reverse image search the photo of the rug only one link is found, to a site called Modern Rugs where the posting is from 2017. the prices on this site are only slightly lower than that of Wayfair, ranging up to 35k(ish) depending on the dimensions of the rug. What's interesting to note however, that weird message of "feel the fear and do it anyway" isnt found on here at all.
Another important thing to note is that on Modern Rugs the designer is credited as 'Christopher Fareed', however on Wayfair his name is nowhere to be found. All you can find is Brayden Studios, which, after doing a search on, links you to another furniture store called ALLMODERN. Searching this Brayden brand on here you find that the most expensive item is a $4,000 ottoman couch, far cheaper than the $40k rug from their wayfair site.
Finally one of the other ways of searching in the original wayfairgate scandal was to Yandex search the src found on the item (e.g. src USA W___________). When doing that with this rug you once again find photos of young children, including the first one being a very young girl posing in a bikini. I havent linked it here because it's pretty gross to think of, but you can do it yourself.
Overall theres definitely something suspicious about the listing of the rug, but please always remember to do extensive research on your own, and not just take posts like this at face value.
One important thing to note with wayfair is they sell things under their own ficticious brand name. This is the reason you find things via a reverse image search and it has a totally different brand name. I found the desk I wanted on wayfair did a reverse image search and got the real brand name, then bought it from someone else.
