I needed a square indoor/outdoor rug for my dining room, and there aren't many options in the size I was looking for. So happy I found this one! I agree with other reviewers...it's definitely a blue-gray with a darker beige background, but that's exactly what I was hoping for. It's a softer, more natural-feeling material than I was expecting, and doesn't really feel like an outdoor rug. In fact, I don't think it would really hold up that well outside. Great for a dining room, though, as the flat weave allows chairs to slide relatively easily. Hopefully it can withstand my kids' messes!
