This is a beautiful rug, listed in the category "outdoor" rugs and since it has outdoor in its name I assumed I could use it outdoor. For three days it looked gorgeous but then, the rain came for about 3 hours, the carpet got so logged with water that it took a whole day of bright sunshine to almost dry it. When I could finally dry it I was left with a useless rug. I had not kept the labels and the plastic wrapping couldn't be used either.What an expensive disappointment !
