The rug is bright and cheerful until the Texas sun faded it within 30 days. By July the rains had started and the smell was rinsed away but the rug formed a hill in the middle and started to literally crack in the middle. My husband rolled and tried his best to straighten the rug but then more rain came and it was a total bust! Needless to say less than a year and I have placed the wicker table over the hill and tear but it is truly time to dump it.
