I really like this rug. It is perfect for our deck. It is made of woven plastic, which makes me confident it will withstand the elements (and all the neighborhood cats who visit us), but if you’re looking for a rug with a more natural-looking fiber, this is not it. You can tell by looking at it even somewhat closely that it is plastic. This also means it is very lightweight, which is great for moving it into place, but it slips around on my deck pretty easily. I will have to find some sort of pad or something that will help it stick down since I don’t have any furniture on top of it at this point. I love the design though!
