This rug is actually better looking in person and will look great on our deck.  The dark navy with the contrasting beige geometric designs makes for a  classic, but not boring piece. I anticipate that it will hold up to our dogs and weather. (For what it's worth, our deck is covered.) I wish Wayfair would show more photos of the rug staged on decks, patios, etc. because the one simple photo doesn't do it justice. I would add a photo, but the rugs are tucked away until our deck is re-stained. If you like the style, don't hesitate to purchase it, because the value is superb.
