I am in love with this rug!  The pattern is subtle but adds so much personality to my patio space.  It perfectly matches the patio set I also bought from Wayfair by having a similar texture.  This rug makes the space instantly stylish.  It lays flat, too.  When we first bought it, the end was curled a little from the packaging, but we just placed some heavy books on it for a few days and it's laid flat since.  I want to buy another one for my dining room!  It doesn't need a non-skid pad underneath with furniture on top, but it might if you plan to use it without anything holding it down.  It's soft enough for my young children to sit on and makes the space cozy.
