We bought this to add a little color to our patio and because we thought our heavy chairs would slide around better than they do on the tile. The chairs do slide easily and it’s a very pretty rug, I just wish it came in bigger sizes. This was the biggest round one they make and when the chairs are pulled out like they are in this pic, you can hardly see it’s there so it doesn’t do much for adding color to the area. It seems well made though.
