Texture: Thin and movable, almost like a throw rug/blanket. Pattern is the same on both sides. (Reversible?) Color: I ordered the gray. Much more white in it than expected. The photo looks gray. The actual rug is gray and white. Pattern: Looks great under my dining table, but ANYwhere else, it is SO hard on the eyes! My eyes were throbbing!! Smell: Sensitive "smellers" beware! It has a strong chemical smell/dye smell. Overall: I'm keeping it because it looks great under my table.
