I had been looking for a durable outdoor rug that also looked nice, and I found it. Some of the rugs that are listed as indoor/outdoor have some pile to them, which I didn't want. I was concerned they wouldn't be as durable, but this rug has a nice flat weave that makes it truly an outdoor rug. It stays clean and I'm able to use the blower to get rid of any outdoor leaves & dirt that tend to accumulate around/on the rug. I highly recommend this rug for outdoor use.
