The pattern is colorful and brightens up the porch.  The rug is thin as expected and so doesn't get in the way of the door opening and closing.  It appears to be sturdy though it hasn't seen much use yet.  My biggest problem ordering online is getting the colors I want, and while this rug works in the space because it has multiple colors, it isn't exactly "terracotta" as described, which would have been preferable.  That part of the pattern is pure orange like a navel orange.  I was also hoping the blue shown would  be blue/green, but it is all blue without a hint of green.  The "green" is a pea soup green.
