Great rug. Not too thick and not super thin. I bought a really nice rug pad to throw under it from amazon and they work perfectly. The biggest issue I had was the ends of the rug were folded up for a few days after unrolling it. 

As far as color goes, mine was more black than the one pictured, please note that it will not be the exact same design as pictured. I figured that going into it, but for anyone else not certain. (it still looks great)
