Do not waste your money!  I bought this wanting a very graphic chic rug for my outdoor roof balcony.  It seemed to hold up in Texas heat but then started to notice that it was getting very linty.  No cover over the rug- just pure sun exposure everyday had burnt the fibers.  After rinsing it and vacuuming it- it still kept shedding with black lint getting on my white outdoor cushions, on my wood floors entering back from the terrace and worse thing - my guest that sat outside one night- their feet where completely black (along with mine)- covered in sooty fibers.  This was totally a product defect and too expensive to have this happen 6months after I bought it.  Threw away finally- bad product no matter how pretty it was is not worth the money.  Stay away from this rug!!!!
