Not quite what I expected.
While I love the color and pattern I was very surprised by the actual rug. The rug is made up of very short pile for the dots. However the background is made of very tightly woven yarn that almost feels like canvas and is so tightly woven into the background material that it creates a 3 D effect. You could not tell this from the pictures on the website. I incorrectly, assumed that the background yarn color and the dots would be of the same thickness or at least would feel softer under foot. The cream background feels more like a tight canvas. While I understand that this is an indoor / outdoor rug I don’t think the color would be practical for outdoor use due to it being such a light color.
