The online photos don’t even do this rug justice! It is SO GOOD in person. I feel like in the photos I took, it appears to be a bit more of a faded black color and in person it’s more of a dark grey... but I like it both ways! It’s so soft to walk on and it gives a nice cushion without being a high pile carpet. It vacuums up easily - I appreciate that, and the fact it’s a busier pattern, since we’re using it in our dining room. It would work anywhere - living room, bedroom, office, playroom! I was also pleased with how fast it flattened out. I set my fairly light dining room chairs along the edges and it was almost completely flat after a few hours. Shipping was quick and it was securely packaged. I highly recommend it!
