This rug is perfect for our outdoor porch (screened in). It will get exposed to elements over the year- rain, dew, pollen, heat and I fully expect to replace it annually, but for the price it should serve its purpose. The texture is very soft, which is wonderful for bare feet during my morning coffee time- adds to the coziness. I love the colors- matched perfectly with my grey, white, black theme. The size was also perfect. Kids already caused a red stain in first week but nothing a little woolite stain remover couldn’t handle. (Kids-another reason I don’t buy expensive rugs and furniture as I expect having to replace things frequently). So far I love the purchase and highly recommend. Caution to those with pets who May traffic the area frequently. Keeps their nails trimmed or you may find they can pick the threads of the rug easily.
