The colors are beautiful - vibrant yet warm.  The texture is typical for an indoor outdoor rug and is perfect for the back door entry way where the dogs and we come in and I don’t want to worry about stains etc.   We are on day five and the rug is still relaxing - we rolled it in the opposite direction and left it for a couple of hours but the corners have needed weighting and it’s still has subtle ripples.   This is really only a problem if you order it too close to guests arriving.  I know it will eventually lie flat. Nice rug-especially for the price.
