I chose this rug because it was advertised as an indoor / outdoor material.  It arrived in excellent condition in a shrink wrap. It appears to be as advertised.  I intend to use this on a concrete patio so the dogs have a smooth and soft place to lay.  Due to the material and weave it is more firm than soft but is acceptable   for the dogs.  It is a mix of colors so zoom in to see it well when considering it.
