This rug looks even better in person than the pictures. I got it for my covered front porch so it has only been exposed to blowing rain, but still looks great after over a month outside. I was able to get this while on a daily sale so it was a great price for the quality. It came rolled so I sat some 25 lb weights on the 4 corners for a couple days and when combined with the heat it is now laying nice and flat.
