Well, the Midwest has had a lot of rain this spring and summer. It takes over 2 days for the rug to dry on my patio. It looks beautiful but it takes too long to dry out. If the weather was bad one day and great the next-the rug is still soggy so we can't sit down for dinner then. On the 3rd dry day, we can eat outside. I will see at the end of the summer if there is any mold.

Pros: beautful and soft
Cons: takes too long to dry out
