I chose this outdoor, waterproof rug for my balcony. I bought two of them and use them along the entire balcony area. They have endured rain, lots of sun and dirt from when I re-pot my plants. They are easy to clean and have remained in pristine condition for this whole past year I have owned them. I love the colors too - they are still as bright as when I first got them and are a great contrast with my grey outdoor furniture.
