This is a lovely outdoor rug that brings life and additional colors to my rooftop deck/garden and helps creating a cozy oasis in the middle of the city. Keep in mind that the rug is a bit spongy. While it feels nice to walk in it barefoot, if you place it outside where it is exposed to rain (as in my case), it absorbs and retains water just as a sponge would. Because of this it may take a while for it to dry after a rain, and it stays wet (and even unpleasantly cold to your bare feet) for quite a while after the rest of the patio furniture has dried.
