If you are looking for a metallic rug this is a good one to pick.  I thought it would have been more matte looking like the picture.  It clashed with my other decor so I had to return.  Had a noticeable but not strong burnt rubber smell, but that was to be expected for the price.  If possible I'd recommend airing this rug outside.  (To be clear, the fibers are not metallic; the print has light gray or white fibers interspersed to give an overall visual effect of a metallic rug.)

Pros: was easy to maneuver, even the 9' x 12' --- no shedding noted, but only kept for 2 hours
Cons: more metallic than I wanted, burnt rubber smell
