I have had this rug for close to 2 years now.  It was very beautiful and I put it out on my deck and now have it in my sun room.  After a year of full sun it did fade a little but has held up well with foot traffic.  I like that I can just throw it over the picnic table and squirt it with the hose to release the dirt.  In a few hours it is air dried and ready to go back down on the floor.
