These rugs are great. We purchased a large rug for the living room and a runner for the entry and they needed to be durable due to our filthy dogs and harshish climate. For an indoor outdoor it is soft and the thinness of this type of rug was solved with a thicker, wool pad. I can not attest to trueness of color since the two rugs don’t match each other. So, star deduction for not having quality control over color.
