This rug looks very nice, the colors are very vibrant. It is shiny and has this silky texture, which I did not expect, but also don’t mind. The grips on the back keep it in place nicely. Also, be aware, it is very low pile, it doesn’t provide much cushioning on the floor. Just days after we got it, we spilled dark beer on it, and it was very easy to wipe off and it dried very quickly. A good buy!
