We have a small concrete patio in our new townhouse. I was thinking of having brick pavers installed, but the $3000+ price tag was more than we wanted to spend. This carpet is a perfect fit, looks great, dries fast after a rain and is easy to clean. Arrived rolled up, but only took a few days for the creasing in it to flatten out. All this for only 10% of what would would have spent on brick pavers!

Looks great, but it is rippled from how it was rolled up. I am hoping it flattens with time

Came packaged very well, laid it down for it to flatten out and pleased with the look.

I'm leaving my review prematurely because I want you to know the measurements are 6" more on both height and length than is advertised! Its 6'6"x9'6" I had to cut mine to fit my railing. But you can see it's made of cloth weaved around straw. The color is slightly more cream than gray/white. Everyone complains about the creases but I put large boxes on the corners and it doesn't look as bad as they're saying, it's less than I expected after reading the reviews. It feels sturdy. Even rigid, wind won't be flipping up the corners. One thing that is different in person than in pictures is the edges don't look gray, It's dark black but in an alternating pixel-like pattern so the camera makes it look like a washed out gray. In person it doesn't do that. The close up of the pieces I had to cut out are exactly what it looks like when you're Standing over it. The cut out on the left is the backside so you can see the straw. It doesn't smell unless you put your nose directly on it. It's not plush soft but it's not cold hard concrete, it would be comfortable barefoot but not at all cushioning like normal indoor rugs. It's wrapped clear upon delivery. And came 6 days sooner than expected.

I'll update on cleanability and flattening time/effectiveness and stuff soon.

So we bought the 5 x 3 -(2 of them). We recently added more area to our house and need the biggest area rug we could find. This rug is perfect color, drains well when it gets wet, looks beautiful and so far we like our purchase
