This rug was beautiful and exactly what I needed...when it first arrived. I have it out on my deck where it is in full sun almost all day. I have a protective cover on the furniture set, and so as a result, part of the rug is in sun and part of it is shaded. The part that is in sun has faded a ton! See the attached photos - this was delivered on March 31, and by today (June 14) the red has faded to yellow and orange. See attached photos - when it first came, and then taken today. You can see obviously which part of the rug has been under the furniture cover and which part has been in the sun. Don't buy this if you plan to use it outside!
