This is the 3rd Safavieh outdoor rug that I have purchased over the years. Mine are under a covered portion of the patio and with light sweeping and a once a year hosing they have held up very well. After 10 years, the original rug was replaced. The 2 rugs presently in use define outdoor dining table & chairs and an outdoor seating area. I'm very pleased with the quality and colors. It does take a week or so for the new rug to lie completely flat, but that was to be expected
