I bought this rug for my side covered porch which is our family's main enterance to the house.  I've only had this rug for a month so I don't know yet how durable it is.  So far I have enjoyed the rug however, it does slip around and has to be adjusted often.  I'm using it as a floor mat infront of the door. The slipage issue would be fine if you were using it as an area rug with something on it.
