This rug is reasonably attractive. We bought it because of its size: it had to fit very specific dimensions to work on the floor of our motorhome. The design is printed on, which is no great shock at this price; the print is crisp and well-aligned, with grey shading to give the illusion of depth, but not very detailed. The rug itself is actually made of synthetic felt rather than any type of napped fabric. It is thin and flimsy; it came rolled up and the cylinder was about 3 and 1/2 inches (7-8 cm) in diameter. It is also stiff; it took several days under weights for the end that was rolled up in the center of the cylinder to lie flat. For our purposes, the felt is actually perfect, because we are in and out of the camper so much and dirt doesn't get ground in. I am happy with this purchase, especially considering the price, and it's great for a camper or perhaps a screened porch or casual room, but if I you wanted an actual persian-style rug with looped nap, you would be disappointed.
