We are so happy with this outdoor rug! Our patio is not covered so anything we put there tends to get wet and dirty in the rain. This rug camouflages dirt very well. While it does soak up rain a bit, it dries right out after a couple of hours in the sun. As the rug is in the shade at our house, we have to move it into the sun to dry, but thankfully it's very lightweight and easy for one person to drag to a sunny spot, even when wet. The pattern is also super cute. Highly recommend!
