Ordered this rug to use outside on my deck.  When it arrived, it looked more like an indoor rug, soft carpet and a rubber backing. But I still tried it outdoors.  It was rained on for one day, and was absolutely soaked for 3 days after, and I hung it up to dry at that point.  I ended up putting it in my dining room instead.  It is a very pretty rug, but should NOT be advertised as an outdoor rug!!!
