Loved the look of this simple, modern rug for our backyard patio. The colors blended perfectly with the concrete and stone, and complemented our patio furniture well. After a year of outdoor use, however, the cream colored stripes were permanently stained from our 2 dogs' muddy paw prints, and began to show algae growth after the rainy season. This rug would be ideal for a covered patio. I purchased the same rug again this year, and hope to find a more durable option soon.
