The size and look of the rug solved a huge "garden design" problem at a very low cost.  Our new house had an 8' x 14' concrete slab right in the middle of the backyard.  I'd love to build a She-Shed or a Hobbit House on it - until then, it was an eyesore.  The rug covered all but 3' of the slab and I took care of that bare area with potted plants.  With greenery as a backdrop and a few wicker chairs and tables, this rug fixed an ugly area and created a lovely focal point in the garden!
