Color is much brighter than in the online photos--less of a dull denim and more of a bright blue. Sturdy and well made, standing up well to weather after a summer outdoors. Densely woven: I wanted to loosely stitch the ends of 2 rugs together but couldn't get a needle through. Rug is slippery to walk on when very wet, but because fibers are plastic they don't absorb moisture, so the rug dries fast. I plan to roll the rug up and store it inside for the winter: I expect it to last several seasons. Well worth the price if the color works for you.
