I bought this attractive area rug for my dinette, a space overlooking a small deck. I needed a suitable floor surface for the heavy foot traffic in this area, especially in pleasant, outdoor weather. I've had this rug several months now, and I think it will be up to the task. I'm having to guess, as It's winter now and a bit out of season for the 'real' test. 

The 'matching' runner that I got for my kitchen isn't a perfect match, which was somewhat disappointing, but several have told me the difference isn't all that noticeable.  

So far I am pleased with this purchase. The sale price was certainly motivating!
