The rug arrived on time & was as described.  The colors went great with my family room decor & the rug lays down right out of the packaging.  I didn't buy it to use outside but rather inside.  I was looking for a rug that the dogs couldn't tear up, that wouldn't show dirty paw prints, easy to vacuum & would look good against dark hardwoods.  This rug meets all of that criteria. And it has a rubberized backing so it doesn't slip around on the floor or need a rug pad underneath.
