This is the second rug purchased, first was about 3 years on the patio.Actually nothing really wrong with it, just liked the new blue color. The firstly, it is good to find a product still in stock after several years - that alone tells a story of quality and customer satisfaction. This rug withstood South Florida weather, critter "deposits", spills of all sorts and grand-kids  with playdough, paints and silly string.  The last, most important quality is the size which 8 and 1/2 round is less commonly available. Plus there are many matching sizes to compliment.  PS - made in USA.
