I have a large two tiered deck with lots going on and many color and patterns. Normally I would have purchased a brighter color area rug for the outdoors but this works perfectly. I wanted two in two different sizes,one to go under each of my dining tables, but the second one is back ordered. I hope they are able to still get it. This rug is soft to the touch. My dog immediately claimed it as his new outdoor napping location. When it gets wet it dries quickly. The outdoor mats are a lot cheaper, but I am happy with this outdoor rug. It is heavier and when rolled out it was perfectly flat and stays in place. The only reason I did not give it a five star rating is because it slightly shows a weave discoloration in some areas. Nothing that ruins the overall look of the rug. The rug was delivered quickly. I called the Wayfair customer service dept. about the second rug and they were extremely nice and very helpful. An overall great experience.
