Great rug! Used it for layering on the front porch; it is the perfect size to put under your welcome mat. Our porch is covered but does still get some exposure to direct sunlight and rain, and after six months of having the rug, including a lot of rain, we have still not had any mold or issues (our welcome mat, as you can see in the photo, does have some discoloration from the weather, but the Wayfair rug does not). The white stripes are not a super bright white, but that works well outside so that the rug never appears dirty.
