I absolutely love this rug. If you are looking for a stark black and white rug this is not for you. It is a deep charcoal gray and very creamy with slight yellow undertone. After reading previous reviews I was OK with it as my home is more modern farmhouse then sleek modern lines and I was not looking for a black/white rug. This rug works perfect looks amazing and is of great quality. It is relatively plush but a rug pad underneath would be nice. Overall I am ecstatic about this purchase.
