I loved this run when it arrived, exactly what I was looking for on our outdoor patio. Within a month it started to fade (half is in constant shade) and by two months the entire rug has faded to a very light blue, some areas you can not distinguish the pattern from the background. I truly expect better from this brand and for the price I paid. We have three other rugs on our outdoor space that were cheaper and have lasted for two or more seasons.
