I'm very pleased with this rug.  It came quick, and was nicely packaged.  I have not had it shed fibers like some other customers have had issues with.  It's relatively dense for the price.   I wasn't expecting it to be with its inexpensive cost.  I didn't have any issues trying to get the edges to lie flat.  I put a few books on the edges, and within a couple hours it was flat.  I really like the sheen it has.  Some lighting it looks silver,  sometimes grey, and sometimes grey with black.  The shag length is 1.5".
