Gorgeous rug, the black is not as pitch black (rich black looking) in photo, could have been the one I received. That’s reason for 4 stars. It is black just not that deep black I was expecting. Mine is more charcoal black. If that makes sense. Well made, does come with “new rug” odor from packaging, goes away in a day or two. This is being used as a base rug to layer with, not rough to touch and high quality.
