I have no idea why this says outdoor. It's an indoor rug, which is what we needed t for and it is perfection. It's velvety. It's the perfect color and size and it's thin so you may need a rug pad. It changes color from a darker teal to a lighter teal depending on the direction of the fibers and/ or where you are looking at it from in the apt. We are updating our entire living room except for the coffee table in the picture here, so it was great to receive this as a way to base our future (near future) purchases. We have a lighter hard wood flooring and a doggie with orange hair (also in pic) and it has been super easy to clean re dog hair. Excited to get the rest of the room looking good.
