Love the design on this rug! I chose to put it on my outdoor patio %26 we've already had some heavy rains that have definitely saturated the rug, so it is not water resistant in any way but seemed to dry fairly quickly once the sun came out. Shows dirt/med very easily %26 is not easy to clean off. So if you've got it on a covered patio with no pets tracking dirt on it, you're golden, otherwise it will get dirty easily. BUT it's stunning %26 a very good price. I may order one again to have on standby for when this one gets too dirty to tolerate. Lol. It is lightweight too, so the wind makes it flap up but I have a table %26 chairs on it, so this isn't a big issue.
