I was searching for an outdoor carpet for my lanai in my new home. I had purchased the Christopher Knight 4 piece patio set in a rich brown, and wanted something to add a pop of color. This more than met my expectations! And, it is very soft underfoot. Once I saw how pretty it was, I ordered chair cushions (again, from Overstock) in the same green as shown in the rug. Everyone loves it ... but not more than I do!!
