Pros This is dark charcoal grey, not black, and is perfect for grounding my space without adding too much color or pattern.  Extremely durable even after 3 summers of daily use.  Dried mustard came out with a simple hose down and light brushing. Tip to flatten out the rug after it arrives (tightly rolled up), roll out where you plan to use it, hose it down well and anchor the corners (I used chairs) and let dry in the sun. 
Cons would have liked a woven binding instead of the wrapped edging which is starting to look brushed and may start to fray.
Overall Very pleased with quality, durability, fadestain resistance, value and delivery.  I bought another this year for a separate lounge area!
