It was not an outdoor rug. It was very plushy, soft and would absorb water. I ordered 2, they are nice indoor rugs . The quality is okay. It is soft, the color is light pale gray, design is correct per picture. I would not recommend if you needed these outside, it does not appear that if rain got on the rug that it would dry out easily. If you have a three season porch that's roofed maybe you may could use these if water soaking the carpets is not an issue. However I bought these intending to use on patio under pergola and it is not correct as being listed outdoor.
