This looks very nice on our back deck. Buy it!This indoor outdoor rug is perfect for my covered porch. It looks good and should hold up well. Olefin is known for being resistant to abrasion, stain, sunlight, fire, and chemicals.I got the rug with the pretty blue border and a tan rectangle inside. It has a slight sheen so I would not use it inside except in an entry or laundry room.I like that this is manufactured in USA, although some of the materials may be imported. It does not slip on my concrete porch. Quality appears to be excellent.Finally a rug that is not gray or blue! I guess those two colors are hot right now because it has been difficult to find a rug with greens. My home is decorated circa 2002 and it has so many dark golds and browns in it, along with green, which I love. I am trying to redecorate and lighten things up around here. I am slowly replacing much of the dark gold and brown with green and white. This has been difficult when it comes to rugs, because every rug on the planet right now seems to be gray or blue, neither of which I am decorating with. I'm so glad I found this one. It is the "Reef Mint" option and I am using it inside, in front of my front door. I am so happy with the color and the organic coral branch design. It is such a fresh change from the old gold and brown oriental-style rug I had there before.I was a little wary of the word "Mint" in the name, because mint green isn't one of my favorites. Luckily, though, the lighter green isn't too pastel, and there is plenty of darker green as well as some mustard yellow to prevent this rug from being overly minty. The darker green is a bit on the blue side, but still it is green enough that I am happy with it. The background is a natural or off-white color. My photos are reading slightly darker and slightly bluer than the rug is in real life, but they are pretty close.This is meant as an indoor-outdoor rug, so it is no surprise that the pile is short. Despite being short, it is fairly soft. It is working fine as a front entry rug, but for a bedroom or living room I'd probably want something thicker, plusher and softer. This rug would be great underneath a kitchen table as you can take it outside and hose it off if it gets spills on it, and many messy things just vacuum right off since there isn't tall pile for it to settle into. I love how rugged, durable and easy-care indoor-outdoor rugs are since we have pets and are sort of hard on our things. We love to work in the yard, for example, and sometimes track in mud and debris.Overall I am very pleased with the colors of this rug, and I love the striking, unique coral branch design. It has added a lot of lightness and brightness where I used to have darkness. I get so many compliments on it!I own a lot of rugs. I have 5 children and we tend to go through rugs in our house cause kids are dirty. All day every day they are making messes . So I have come to appreciate a good durable rug. I was initially attracted to this rug because of its beautiful coral reef design. My daughter loves the ocean so this rug immediately grabbed her attention. Stains are easily cleaned and isnt showing any signs of wear after a few months use now in a main room . The color remains vibrant and I couldn't be happier with this selection in rug. I would purchase again and would recommend it.This indoor/outdoor rug blends grey cream and beige in a subtle pattern that would suit many types of decor. It holds up well to heavy household traffic and does not show dirt. Yet, it is soft enough that my dog loves to nap on it every afternoon!This is an amazing find - typically indoor outdoor rugs are coarse and stiff, but this one is actually really nice to walk on. Barefoot or otherwise. It's strong and durable, but still soft enough to be comfortable if you want to sit down on it. I really like the pattern - and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a porch rug or something to drop in a high traffic area.Five stars!I've been eyeing the antelope rug from Ballard Designs for some time but never pulled the trigger because it is made of wool, and I have 3 young children and 3 young cats who have literally destroyed another hand-loomed wool Ballard rug in a very short amount of time. l filled my house with the more durable indoor/outdoor polypropylene (PE) rugs which have been holding up and wearing beautifully. But for some reason, Ballad does not offer PE rugs in their antelope pattern. Well, luckily, Mohawk is offering it and I got a smaller one for my entry/foyer to try it out. I am pleased to say the quality is just as good as my others if not more so. And the pattern/colors are perfection.When PE rugs are dirty, they can be spot cleaned, blotted with a towel, and they dry almost instantly in our California weather. Or I can drag the rug outside, drizzle some dish soap, go over the soiled areas with a stiff brush, and hose the entire thing off. Takes only a day to dry. My cats love using this rug as a scratcher, but their incessant scratching is futile against the PE material and the tight weave. After about a month in our high traffic foyer, I cannot see any visible difference at all.This rug is so beautiful and performing so well in my home, I am ready to order the 10' x 14', a size many PE rugs are not available. I love it and highly recommend it for indoors or out. This item gets 5 stars from me.I ordered This indoor-outdoor flat woven area rug to place on my three-season porch. I was looking for something that would dry quickly if it gets damp and that was still soft and durable. This drug absolutely fits the bill. I'm looking forward to enjoying it for Seasons to come. The color is a slightly salmon red, with grey and beige accents.
