Gorgeous, but beware naked feet!

This rug is absolutely wonderful - colors are rich, pile is nice and comfortable. The only drawback is that it gets HOT on my deck (northern NH.) If you're using this to protect little feet, paws, etc from a hot surface, this isn't the rug you want.

It has withstood the "acid test" - my family!

I have always loved the look of rugs on a porch, but thought them impractical for an active family like mine. I felt kids, dogs, and husbands with dirty feet just didn't mix with beautiful outdoor rugs. This lovely but hard-working rug has changed my mind. It looks beautiful on my screened porch floor, feels great under my feet and has withstood all the punishment my family has given it. I haven't had to worry about anyone tripping from the rug sliding around - it stays exactly where it is put. Best of all, it seems to laugh at dirt. While it is highly resistant to dirt and stains, I recently washed it off with the garden hose and it still looks like new. This is a very durable rug and one I will enjoy now and in the future.

Best rug for outdoors

We have and use several outdoor rugs, but they do not even come close to the hard wearing and easy cleaning of this rug. I was a little concerned with the edges after unrolling it as others I have never seem to flatten out completely (more than once a guest has stumbled over the raised edges). Again I am impressed as within a few hours of lying flat there was no sign of the ends of this carpet `curling up`
