The rug arrived in perfect condition and laid flat right away.  We put it outside under our patio by the pool, it is under a roof.  On the Q and A on the website, someone asked if this rug could be used outdoors and Candace from Wayfair said the recommended use was for outdoors.  However, under "more information", it is for inside use so I'm not sure if it should go outdoors?  We love the rug and hope it holds up outside in our Florida home.
