This is definitely a rug for the outdoors or for a three-season or sunroom. It just isn't thick enough for use inside. We had it on our deck for a while, but once it was rained on a few times, it was a mess. It didn't every really dry out very well and faded in the sun very quickly. It would probably be fine outside if it's in an area that's covered and doesn't get much weather or sun. Color is very close to what's shown online.
