This is a beautiful rug that can be used indoors and outdoors. I set it up in my small office to compliment my desk and chair. The material and texture is smooth and nice to walk on. The turtle even loves it as it keeps him from scurrying across the floor in slide more. My fur babies must love the feel of it to because they come to sleep on it. It's easy to vacuum with a handheld vacuum and I like that it's dark in color. The pattern is even design wise and the lighter shades compliment the darker shades beautifully. It's good quality and not cheaply put together. There's been no slips or sliding of the rug, but I put a rug gripper underneath anyway.
