I purchased this rug for my back porch, where I was trying to create a lush, tropical feel. This rug fits the bill! The colors are beautiful and vibrant. It seems well made and durable. My porch is covered and usually stays dry, but shortly after I put the rug down we had a driving rain with a lot of wind, and the rug got soaked. It's pretty thick, but it dried completely within 24 hours. I chose this rug over another one that was a little cheaper, and I'm glad I did. It was worth the extra money.
