I was hesitant about ordering this rug, but I kept coming back to it. The color was what I wanted and I wanted a light weight rug for the three season sun porch that I could drag out onto the deck and hose off. The sun porch is a high traffic, dirty, wet dog area so I didn't want to pay too much for a rug. I was also worried about the black in the rug, but it enhances the teal color. The rug has a nice feel to it....not scratchy or stiff. I am very satisfied with the purchase..
