Received the rug quickly without damage.  Using it in the kitchen seating area.  The rug appears gray in the photo, but it actually more like dark charcoal/black.  Anyway, it looks great and is not a problem.  Pet hair seems to come right off with a quick vacuuming.  

Pros: striking look, easy to care for
Cons: if you are looking for a mid level gray, it is not your rug.
