Keep in mind that this is an indooroutdoor rug, so it’s not really soft enough for an indoor environment, but it also isn’t intended for prolonged exposure to the elements. We had ours on a large, covered balcony, and it stood up pretty well to some rain (and constant humidity) but it did get bleached out by the sun (again, it was a covered balcony, so it wasn’t constantdirect sun exposure). For the price and it’s intended purpose, it served its purpose well for us.
