I love the texture of this rug! Very luxe, plush and glossy. I am using it as a runner for the entry hallway - probably not the most practical choice, for such a high traffic area but I like the look. As noted in other reviews, it is kind of slippery but I have not had an issue, especially during those early morning running late moments with leather soles.  Plus, I think it becomes less so as it ages. I do recommend putting rug pads underneath to prevent moving around...so far so good.
