Obsessed with this rug. After a failed patio attempt using interlocking deck tiles, I was pretty frustrated. However, I had already ordered this rug and it arrived the next day (after patio issue). I laid it directly on the ground outside and loved it. I’ve actually ordered 4 total to lay out to substitute the patio for 800 cheaper. It’s very stylish, thick, ends are doubled up to keep it from rolling up, feels great on bare feet. VERY happy with this purchase.
