I bought 2- 5'x7' area rugs for our covered front porch.  We live in Atlantic Canada on the ocean.  The wind and rain can be fierce!  Other area rugs slipped on the painted wooden planking and/or when it was moist.  These ones don't!  The edges of other area rugs have got caught in the wind. These ones don't!  There has been no suggestion of dye run between the contrasting bands of colour, despite getting wet a few times.  And my husband (who hates to wear socks) loves the relatively soft texture of these rugs beneath his bare feet (as do our dogs, as far as I can tell)!  Well made product for a great price.
