Rug is beautiful but not suited for outdoors if not in a fully covered area. Loved how it looked and really sad that we had to remove it after two months because it retains water and takes days to dry out after it rains. Water was literally pooling underneath it. Not good for a wood deck. This has not occurred with other rugs we’ve used on our deck. It also fades quickly in the sun. I would recommend it for an outdoor covered patio or for indoors only.
