I got this rug (8x10) for my deck to cover some places animals tried to knaw their way to perhaps a piece of kibbles between the cracks! It looked terrible, so I covered it up with this rug!! And it is perfect. The rug itself is a quality piece. It laid down flat right away. It is light rain outside right now, so we will see how it holds up, but I'm sure it will. You can just feel it and see how it lays and looks to tell it is quality! I did forget to tell Amazon to put it in a box, but it got here with the wrapping all intact - nothing messed up.And the rug is beautiful! I got the black and white and plan to get a black table and chairs togo on it. But it just makes the whole backyard look cozier!
