This is one of the nicest indoor/outdoor rugs I have ordered.  I used it in the foyer because it was so easy to clean.  Now I am using it in a guest room because it looks so good with the comforter and chair.  It is a flat weave, not a cut pile, but has a good backing and holds its shape much better that other indoor/outdoor rugs I have purchased.  Colors were very true to photo on the computer.
