I am using this rug as an indoor rug in my living room.  I ordered the 9x12...and it looks great.  I have a great dane, so I wanted a rug that was durable and easy to clean, since my living room is a high traffic area.  For the price and size, you can't beat it.  As others have mentioned, the rug does crease in the packaging.  Most of the creases settle over time.  There are still a couple noticeable creases, but it doesn't bother me.  I ordered a 9x12 rug pad to go under the rug...highly recommended!  It gives the rug some cushion and holds it in place.
