"We purchased this Simmone Flatweave outdoor rug to give us an alternative to walking on hot concrete.  It is a nice quality rug for the price, and we like the look and feel of it.   The light yellow might be a poor color choice for outside, but it was the color we were looking for to match our patio sun shades.  The yellow rug is a soft, light color â€“ lighter than I was expecting from the photos, but it works to complete our patio look!  We are hopeful that this rug will wear well in Texas' weather extremes."
