First off the rug looks great, lays flat and is exactly what you would hope for, if you were using it indoors. However, we planned to use it on an outdoor patio and it will not dry out after getting rained on days ago. Granted it is on the north side of the house, but a couple mid 60 degree days with sun did nothing to dry it out. Going to try finding a place inside where it won't get wet or we'll have to get rid of it.
