I chose these rugs for our front porch specifically because many of the reviews said they were "too nice" for outdoor use. That's exactly the high-end feel I wanted and they definitely fit the bill.  I ordered 3 and lined them up so that most of our floor is covered, meaning we can walk out on our porch and feel comfy, cushy right away! I also ordered the suggested rug pads, which were different sizes and a little bit larger than the rugs. This was annoying but ended up being easy to cut down the rug pad itself.  The rug ends do curl a little when you first take them out, but put something heavy on it for an hour or so and you're good to go.
