I absolutely love these rugs. They were exactly what I was looking for! Low profile, non-skid backing, durable, no trip hazard...the only downside to me is they are much more bluish than gray. I would call them a bluish slate gray. Since I had several shades of gray in my kitchen they worked for me and the color eventually grew on me. These have been in my kitchen for a few months now and I am very pleased with them!!
