It’s a beautiful rug but I’m not sure how it’s going to hold up outside because it’s so thick. The first night I put it down we had rain kind of unexpectedly and it’s soaked through and through and too heavy to move wet. Until I have some dry weather to dry it out I won’t know how well it held up to getting wet then drying out. Also I’m afraid the colors will show dirt quickly. It may be too luxurious for a semi covered patio. 🤞
