For what I was looking for, this was perfect - there's just enough of a subtle sheen to it to make it feel glamorous, and so far, it's been easy to clean/keep clean (I got the white version). It is not super padded, however, and I would recommend getting the rug pad, but I don't mind it too much. Overall, great value for what I paid for this, shipping was fast and the rug was well packaged.
