Very good quality area rug. It has a bit of a shiny texture almost like a chenille rug but since its a very low cut pile the shine is not overbearing.  It's a thin rug so one end curls a bit but sure we can fix w carpet dots. colors are beautiful not so dark or bright. Rug looks exactly like the photo (very rare occurance nowadays w internet shopping)  the size you see on my submitted photo is 13' x 16'.  I could do without the shiny part but over all its a great rug, happy with the purchase.
