Very Happy with this Rug Date: November 17, 2009
"The rug looks very similar to the pictures, with vibrant colors. I have the rug indoors and it is perfect. Since the rug is n a high traffic area I was thrilled to see how easy it to clean. Dirt, food, etc. wipes right up. Defiantly one of the best purchases I have made in a long time."

great rug Date: November 15, 2009
"I liked the idea of the 'recycled' product; I read the reviews and I liked the pictures online.
When I got the package(in a few days!) I was puzzled and a bit nervous at the weight of the box. I laid it out in my livingroom, expecting not to leave it there; however it looks great! I am totally comfortable with it indoors. It is also quite a novelty to have such a beautiful piece of recycled art . Thank You.
Oh, I'm getting the alternate color for my office."

Cheerful and durable Date: October 30, 2009
"I bought the rust colored mat, mainly to use my apartment balcony as a sitting/painting area because I love sitting on the floor. It has done wonders for the ambience: the gray concrete is invisible, I can leave this out in the sun and wind and car soot from the road ahead and never worry about maintenance. Best of all, it 'reflects' sunlight in warm hues right through the glass doors and onto the ceiling of my living room.

My mother in India was impressed with this, and that's saying a bit, considering that India has traditionally had many of these eco-friendly rugs in common use (used to be plant fiber, now they are plastic)."

A great outdoor rug. Date: October 24, 2009
"I purchased this rug about 6 months ago. The rug is very durable and the colors have not faded at all. I am very pleased with my purchase and the quality has exceeded my expectations. Everyone that visits loves the rug and wants to know where it came from. This rug is like no other outdoor rug I have seen in local stores. Thanks for such a great product!"

"This is our second Turkish Pattern Reversible All-Weather Floor Mat. It looks elegant with our patio furniture, and people are shocked to know it's made of recycled plastic and how inexpensive it is. The rug will last indefinitely, but, because sun can be brutal, it will fade. Our first one's color lasted two years, and we reversed it after the first. It's a no maintenance rug, but if you do get a spill, just hose it off."

I get compliments all the time on it and people can't believe how little I paid for it. It's really a great buy plus I feel good about the purchase knowing it's made of recycled soda bottles!"

"It is hard to believe the rug is made out of recycled bottles really. It is very well made, looks great. We used it on our back porch during the summer and inside the house during winter and it looks just as good."

Good-quality, attractive outdoor mat Date: October 22, 2009
"Purchased 2 mats to cover wooden deck that needed refinishing. Does not look plasticky or tacky at all. Looks like typical rug until you step on it. Recycled plastic rods are very comfortable to walk on: Springy and give a little with each step. Durable: In the few months we had them out on the deck (moved into storage now that winter has arrived), they did not fade or start to come apart like other mats. Edge trim held up perfectly despite constant rubbing and folding (our deck door just catches one of the edges). Easy to clean: Just sweep or hose off. I'm now considering buying other sizes and designs of this mat for use indoors in high traffic areas (muddy dog paws and kids' shoes). Everyone comments on how beautiful the mats are, and are impressed that they're made using recycled pop bottles by fairly paid craftspeople. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!"

great value - lots of compliments Date: October 21, 2009
"We put this rug on our glassed in porch of our row house in the city. It's easy to keep clean, and the color is not fading despite the sun. Everyone who comes in compliments us on it and when I tell them it is made from recycled plastic they really rave. It is very lightweight and doesn't always stay put though - you need to put some furniture on it to keep it in place. Not the worst thing."

"This rug looks great in our TV room. The only drawback is that it does have a slight wave to the edges. One or two places under furniture seems to help this. Overall, it is a good value."

Great outdoor rug! Date: October 20, 2009
"This is a great product at a great price! We used it near our pool; the wooden decking is so hot on your feet, and the rug helped the ouchy feet! It's lightweight enough to easily move around but yet it stays put in the wind. I love the pattern, the fact that it's reversible, and that it's made from soda pop bottles by fair trade workers! Great idea!"

"We purchased the Turkish all weather rug for use when we go camping with our RV. It is the perfect size and stands up to the elements with just a shake to clean it when we pack up. We are pleased with our purchase."

durable and cheap Date: October 19, 2009
"i bought the aqua color for our living room last year, as we lived with two guys that were absolutely disgusting. it vacuums or shakes out with very minimal effort, feels nice under bare feet, and it held up surprisingly well over the last year. this year with different roommates, it is more of a decoration than a necessity, but is still very nice addition.

i am actually using the reverse side so the blue is the focal point in the middle rather than the orange. in retrospect, i should have paid the extra for the larger size, but all in all a great purchase"

Interesting, but not for me Date: August 14, 2009
"I bought this hoping to use it indoors. Unfortunately it really isn't high enough quality to look nice in an interior space. Perhaps it would work for an enclosed porch, but certainly not my dining room. The weave is very coarse- almost like wicker.
I would be happy to use it outdoors, I just don't have a spot for it!"

Best Rug Bar-None Date: July 29, 2009
"Great rug! The colors are so vibrant they add life to our living space and bring out the accents in existing decor. We have dogs so vacuuming our rugs to keep the fur levels under control is always a challenge for a neat freak. The fur is virtually a non-issue with this rug...it is the easiest rug to care for that we have EVER had...virtually no maintenance! Looks great indoors or outdoors."
