Product Insights
This designer-exclusive outdoor rug blends plush cream squares for comfort with textured black squares for durability, offering a softer feel than typical flatweaves at its sale price of $59.95—comparable to a generic big-box rug. Made of 70% polypropylene and 30% polyester, it resists moisture, mold, and fading, and can be hosed clean or spot-cleaned with mild soap, though full drying is required to prevent mildew. Its indoor-outdoor rating allows it to transition from patio to living room seasonally, but care must be taken to blot rather than scrub to preserve the two textures.
