I bought this to go in my laundry room/home office/craft room. While I think this rug is nice and durable, I would want something thicker for a living room. But this is exactly what I would expect from an outdoor rug so I can't complain - it is exactly what I expected. I like the pattern. It is pretty light and I wouldn't to use it on my porch (outdoors) because my dog would track red muddy paw prints on it!
