It’s absolutely not an indoor rug. It feels like a woven wood. Not soft at all to the touch. The color is also not black/white. It’s black and more of a taupe. I’m keeping it because I don’t have the energy to return it and it’s probably good enough for a kids’ bathroom because toothpaste should wipe up fairly easy. However, I wouldn’t recommend it if your looking for comfort. Would be perfect as an outdoor rug!
