Shopper Reviews
Back in the reviews for the Striped Indoor Outdoor Rug, one shopper said: 'Great rug. I bought the small one for outside and loved it so much that I bought another small one for my conservatory and a large one for my lounge. Good quality and stains wipe off well.'
A second review read: 'Great outdoor rug. Made from hardwearing material - is a great colour and looks expensive!'
A third fan said: 'This is such a great price for this rug, there’s no way does anyone think it was £35, worth every penny, looks amazing and I’m sure it will wear well, it’s a lovely thick rug won’t blow up in the wind and is a fabulous colour. Five star from me!'
A fourth review read: 'Great product. Great price and looks awesome on the decking with the garden furniture.'
One Negative Review
At the time of writing, the only negative review reflects the waterproof aspect of the rug. The review read: 'It was impossible to dry. I couldn't leave it outside, I couldn't walk on it because it was just sodden. After a few days of hanging it outside (it weighed a ton with all that water). It was dry enough to move and it's now finishing off in the shed. I'll either take it to the dump or try to sell it cheap on Marketplace. I don't think it's suitable for outside at all. It needs to be under some sort of roof where it won't get wet, like a veranda or something. I had it on the patio. Disaster.'
