I thought this rug would be perfect for under my dinette table on the deck but it held so much moisture I had to switch it out. It’s beautiful and the colors are vibrant. I have 2 115 pound dogs and the mud just brushes off it. However I will have to put it somewhere out of the rain, as it becomes SATURATED for days and days if it rains a little. This will be good under my outdoor sofa because it’s under cover
