Nourison Palamos Indoor/outdoor Geometric Contemporary Lt Grey Area Rug

I bought the 5 x 7 size in the dark gray for my very hot new deck. For a hundred bucks I was hoping to be happy, and I'm ecstatic! Soft under foot, does hold the rain water for awhile but the cooling effect on the feet is a bonus! The pattern of light background with the darker gray stripes is not busy looking at all and brings a sophisticated touch to the deck without contrasting with pillow patterns. So far both dog and cat are respectful and seem to enjoy lounging on it too. Should one of them drop a load, I expect cleaning will be painless (hose it off). This rug is textured and soft enough for any room inside the home with a rug pad underneath, but doesn't need one on the deck in this size, although a runner or smaller size might need a pad on the deck. Definitely worth the investment:)
