I bought the 9x12 rug. I LOVE it. bought it to replace one of those plastic like "RV rugs" that I got at beginning of season (didn't know they would peel and flake...should of, but didn't). So I really didn't want to pay full price since I had already spent $40 on the other. I knew I'd find something at Wayfair. Had been shopping for blue-themed rugs but fell in love with the simplicity AND elegance of this style (I know those 2 adjectives contradict one another....but it really is true). We have a dark grey metal roof and our home has several black accents....this was perfect. And our deck is in the realm of light tan so the light tan is found in the in-piled part of the rug. It was a perfect score for my home. The texture is soft, the weight is perfect. It weathered a monsoon we had here recently that spanned 3 days. Couldn't be happier at this point.!!
