This is definitely an indoor/outdoor rug and like others have said it takes a while for the rolls to come out. It's been under our dining table for a week and is still a bit lumpy. I have faith it will lay flat, eventually. The color makes the room appear more proper but the pattern brings it back to "rustic country," for me. It's soft to walk on and I think spills will come off easily - great for under a dining table.
