Although my initial impression of this rug was positive - mostly because of the look of it - I am not happy with the item.  It get dirty very quickly and though one can hose it down, it would need it too often and I'm not hosing it in the winter.  It got a hole in the  weave very quickly, which disappointed me but the overall feeling of having a slippery and easy-to-get-dirty item in my kitchen just got to me.  I have replaced it with something that is NOT indoor/outdoor material and like it much better.
