Bought this as an outdoor rug as listed on the site. I read the reviews but expected it to not get as wet in the rain, considering it would be completely under a canopy. But, it has gotten soaked on a few occasions and the rubber backing prevents any water from draining. So, in order to move it, to dry it out, it needs to be dragged to the driveway and baked in the sun all day. Since it is so large, when it does get wet, it's HEAVY. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR OUTDOOR SPACES THAT CAN POTENTIALLY GET WET. Otherwise, it is fine for dry uses. The rubber backing does prevent slipping and the colors are pretty. Listing it as an outdoor rug is a bit misleading.
