I bought this about a month ago for our new deck to go under our table and chairs.  It is under a covered patio so I don't expect to have problems with color fading.  I absolutely love the quality.  It looks fantastic!  The chairs slide in and out from the table very easily and do not get hung up on the carpet.  I love that I can just hose it off if there is a spill (which there will be eventually).  It feels great in just socks and I am so pleased with it!
