This rug is beautiful and good quality, soft and vibrantly coloured. It is almost too lovely to put outside, which is what I purchased it for.  The only downside is the way that the rug has been constructed. It is a looped construction rather than tufted (which I knew when I purchased it) but this means that within days of putting it outside on my front porch, neighbourhood cats had already visited, sharpened their claws in its luxurious softness, and pulled some loops out. I knew it would happen, but it still is unfortunate.
