I was looking for an outdoor rug that would be easy to maintain and would look great on my deck. I had already purchased my tablecloth that was specific to the size of my table and with an umbrella hole to run the propane hose through. Of course the rug needed to have the same colors and pattern and I was so pleased when I found this one. You never really know about the colors of online photos but I was hopeful. Well, it is perfect and precisely what I was looking for. It feels really nice under my feet and makes my patio look great!
