This is first and foremost a very practical outdoor rug. It wipes clean easily, vacuums easily, doesn't mildew, and dries quickly in the sun. It is also aesthetically pleasing in terms of the overall color scheme and design. It is more of a teal green (greenish/blue) and so happens to match my seat cushions on my porch perfectly. The reason I only gave it 4 stars is because some of the threading underneath unraveled along the borders, so be sure to cut it if this happens rather than try to pull them out. Not a big deal, and after being out a week in the rain, it still looks great. I have another outdoor rug of the samw material in my kitchen, and these types of rugs are really practical while being very pretty as well. If you're looking for a soft plush rug, this isn't it. Overall recommend.
