I purchased to coordinate with another Nicole Miller rug. Both were described as "black/silver". I assumed being the same manufacturer with the same color description, that they would indeed be the same colors.The first one was beautiful and packaged well. This one is has no where near the black/dark gray as the other one. It also was not rolled well and FedEx bent it to boot. I don't know if it will ever lay flat. It's way too much trouble to repackage and return so I'll keep it and hope I get used to it.
