We bought three of these last year and use two outdoors on a covered porch. I am pasting my comments on those below because they are excellent. This one we use in our entryway, also with a pad underneath. Of the three, it is the only one showing some wear, fraying at one edge and a small depression in one spot. It may be because it is a more high traffic area. Or it may be that the black shows the wear (like the spot) more than the blue. Overall, this is still an excellent value and I'm glad we got it.
We bought this last summer for a covered porch; we put an outdoor pad underneath. We get so many compliments on how it makes the space warm and inviting. With the pad, it's very comfortable to sit on for kids/dogs to play, read, etc. It is holding up great. Dries on its own when it gets wet.
Cleans up great hosing it down (and our dog vomited on it, so we know! We took it off the porch for that cleaning.) or with a vacuum to get rid of leaves, crumbs, sand, etc.
I found these because friends have the Safavieh rugs. They had bought them from Ballard Design. This is the same thing for half the price!!! Thanks, Great Offer Stock. I bought three altogether.
