This is a great rug for my covered porch. It arrived just a couple days after I placed the order. It was well packaged in heavy plastic with disposable bootie type protectors at the ends. It was rolled tight but upon my initial unrolling of it, I wrangled with it a bit and rolled it the opposite direction and after 3-4 minutes, it laid nearly flat. By the time I finished arranging my furniture around the rug, it was completely flat. It has no lingering smell and it is ‘square’. It’s not ‘finished’ on the edges but it looks nice and I feel like it will be a perfect outdoor rug. Unfortunately, I knocked over a plant the day after I received the rug, spilling wet dirt over an 18” area. It vacuumed up great with my shop vac and you can’t see any sign of the spill. I think generally it will clean up nice with an an occasional sweeping with a broom. The shades of blue are perfect for pulling things together with my outdoor space. The rug does have the potential to get wet and I’m hoping it will dry quickly (I really dislike walking on or having my feet on a soggy, wet rug) and I also prefer to not roll up a rug every time it might rain… seems to defeat the purpose of an outdoor rug!
