I was surprised by the feel of this rug. The shiny fibers are quite slick. My grandkids and dog loved the rug but after having for a couple months I gave it away. IT SHEDS!!! I had threads and yarn and "fur balls" everywhere! Even if I vacuumed regularly, those fur balls would roll out from under the bed or other piece of furniture even in another room! 

Pros: Nice color
Cons: SHEDS TERRIBLY!
