We got the 15' rectangular version of this. It does look like a cheap rug, but the style is what we were looking for and it serves it's purpose as a meeting room sound dampener. 
It's also been shedding a bit, which is unusual for a synthetic rug, but nowhere near the shedding of a natural fiber rug. Also, it arrived smelling strongly like chemicals. We aired it out in a vacant suite in our building for a week with a HEPA filter running and that helped a lot, but it does still have a "synthetic" odor.
