I bought the rug to go near the backdoor slider as it is slippery on the tile coming inside from the pool.  The material is definitely an outdoor rug as the woven build it is a little rough, but it should hold up well to the foot traffic.  The stitching and patterns are not tight like an indoor rug.  The price was right and the pattern fit the space, so it was a good buy in that regards, however, if I had the choice, I probably would not buy again as it is not as soft and welcoming as I hoped.
