This is a great rug! We have 3 elderly dogs and while they are all house-trained, our living room rug does take a beating between dogs and kids. I decided to go with an outdoor rug this time but was apprehensive since some are so unpleasant underfoot. This one feels fine, though, and looks fantastic. It looks just like pictures on the lightest wood floor in the sample pics. It cleans up easily and dries quickly. Options were few in the 9x12 size I needed but I'm really happy with the quality, the design, the color, the texture, and the ease of cleaning. It did take a little more time to relax than a regular indoor rug which I expected but I just put something heavy on the ends for a few days and that did the trick.
