Ive had the rug 2 years. (8x10). The 1st year was good but did have some fading in direct sunlight on the patio. The second year it developed many mildew spots all on shaded area and took longer to dry between rains. My patio does NOT
 have a roof above and by the end of year 2 it was ready for the trash. When the rug was wet it was extremely heavy.
