We absolutely love this outdoor rug! We purchased 2!! The palms are raised which feels really good when you walk on it barefoot. Additionally, it also gives that 3 dimensional look which provides our back porch with that outdoor living vibe we were looking for. Material is good quality, the color is very vibrant especially with bright accent colors. We use ours outside, when it rains we maneuver the rug to prevent ware, also we used scotch guard to assist with longevity. We absolutely recommend this item!!
