This is exactly what I needed. I needed to solve the problem of my dogs jumping over the fluffy rug put there for the purpose of cleaning their feet. They would land only 2 or 3 of their feet on the fluffy rug. Yet, I couldn't get a larger fluffy one as my table and chairs are in the way and they sit oddly if only one table leg and two chair legs are on it.
By layering this jute rug under the fluffy rug, yet also under the table and chair legs, I was able to get coverage.
I love the colors of the blue and black. It matches my kitchen well. From the photo, you can see it matches my Blue Heeler well too!
As an outdoor rug, it is not thick nor is it soft, which I would not expect. The package says "washable" yet also says "limited washings". So, I'm probably better served by hitting with a hose if I need to.
I'm knocking this from a 5 star down to a 4 star because the instructions say to let it dry in the shade. This tells me the sun will make the colors fade. As an outdoor rug, I think this is a poor design - to include a known quality issue.
Using this outdoors, it seems like it would last one season for sure, and maybe two if in low foot traffic and in the shade. While I haven't had it long enough to say 100% how durable it would be, I can say that I don't have high hopes for it in high volume, dirty dog feet, work boot clomping traffic.
Overall, I do recommend it, though. It did solve my problem.
