This rug is extremely thin, and I was kind of upset when it arrived as it should be labelled as solely outdoor use. After I laid it out I realize it is perfect for me for now. I have a toddler and a dog that lives indoors with us all the time. I like it because it is easy to clean (just hose it off outside!) and it is easy to pull chairs in and out from underneath the dining room table. You definitely have to get a nonstop pad for this rug. I cannot express enough how thin this rug is.
