A year ago I purchased this same rug, in a circular size to fit under a patio table. It was so beautiful that I purchased this oblong one, for the french door entry outside on the patio. I will say I was disappointed with how they looked together, simply because the sun had faded the one that was a year older. But in time, I guess they will look just fine together. For the 2nd year, I flipped over the circular rug, so I could have both rugs matching in their coloring. I guess sun fading is just a fact of outdoor living. The rugs are both very comfortable under bare feet.
