The rug is advertised as being for outdoors, which it may be in some areas. We live in a windy environment and this rug is very lighweight, so it blows away when the wind blows, even a slight amount.  It fits the area on our deck and looks very nice with the outdoor furniture we have except when  the wind is blowing and then we have to bring small bolders to hold it down so it doesn't blow into the canyon, or the yard, or against the house.....
