This rug is as beautiful on my deck as it looks on screen, the orange is possibly a touch more vibrant in person.  It is softer than the average outdoor carpet but not as soft as an indoor one.  I bought it for an area that will get wet, it has rained for four days straight now and the rain appears to drain through it well without affecting the colour.  As always, the shipping was impressive...it arrived a day early and in perfect condition.  I hope this carpet is as durable as it is beautiful because I'm in love with how much it improved the comfort and atmosphere of our deck.
