Sorry, but I didn't like this and I'm returning it.  It wasn't gray - it was more a brown color.  Reminded me of thick macramé twine that was used in the 70's for macramé wall hangings and plant holders.  The "twine" wasn't consistent in color and it was kind of rough in places.  Not many times I am unhappy with a Wayfair purchase...but this time I am.
