I had just stained my back deck and felt it needed an extra touch for beautification. I thought this outdoor area rug would be perfect!  It arrived and was sooo easy to lay out by myself.  I do have one small issue with it, which is that the long sides tend to raise up (curl) in the extreme heat (85+) & could be a trip hazard, which I could manage by adding a few tacks on the long sides but because I’m thinking I will need to roll this up for winter (we get heavy snow & below 0 temps) so I don’t want to repeatedly put tacks in my deck floor each spring.  But only time will tell if that is an issue.  All I can say is currently I am so very pleased with this area rug and enjoy it daily!  I also have a front deck that t am considering ordering an area rug for too, but currently that one will remain on my wish list .
