For a huge deck, this mat really pulled the space together and added a little style. It is definitely more of a mat than a rug though. Which is fine, because it makes it perfect for outdoor living. Also, I read other reviews and had been looking for a yellow/white mat. It is YELLOW. It matches the yellow pillows I have on the bench. I wanted yellow so this was great, but if you're looking for green- you may be disappointed when it arrives.
