Love this rug. The quality is much better than I expected, the texture is softer than a sisal rug but similar in texture but it doesn’t feel plastic. The colour is slightly darker than the photograph more an oatmeal colour. We are currently using this rug inside the house as a temporary measure whilst renovating and I really pleased with it. It looks like it will be very hard wearing and easy to spot clean. It lies flat and does not curl up at the corners. We will use it as an outside rug next year so I can’t comment on how it stands up in an English summer. As there is no plastic backing to the rug it looks like it would dry out if it got wet.
