Last week, I ordered an indoor/outdoor rug from Overstock. This one, specifically. I had high hopes it would look and feel nice and could work well in several rooms in the new house. Well, it arrived yesterday and I’m probably going to send it back. I’ve seen indoor/outdoor rugs that have a texture similar to [...]
