I purchased this rug for Outside use on my uncovered deck. I recommend that it only be used for Indoor use. I had the rug for just three days when we had heavy rain for a few hours. The rug stretched in one section (pictured below) and is now a trip hazard for my toddler. I waited a few days after it dried out to try and see if it would correct itself, but it remains stretched. I will be contacting customer service to return it. For indoor use - it is a nice, soft rug.
