We have 3 young kids. A few years ago we purchased our first indoor/outdoor rug. We had a older dog who was loosing her bladder and with the little kids, things unintentionally got spilt. Indoor/outdoor rugs are so easy to clean and perfect for the phase of life we are in...where accidents occasionally happen.  For the price you really can't beat this rug. I like the warn look and the little flakes of blue.
