I love the look of the rug on my back deck - but a bit misled with the thought that it is supposed to be an "indoor/outdoor" rug. The rug is still fairly wet after raining several days ago, so I am not really sure how much of an "outdoor" rug it is. I have 2 small children so I made the purchase to prevent them from getting splinters on our deck when they are crawling around. Fortunately this has helped with not getting splinters, but now as they crawl around on the carpet they become wet because the carpet does not dry out, so its a bit annoying.
