Exactly as shown and commented on by others.  Not a midnight black, but rather "heathered" which actually softens the look. Soft on the feet.  We put it in out TV room and it pops! Vacuums well.  Two of the corners needed "ironing" with wet towel as noted by another reviewer, but once done, they are flat as a pancake and don't seem likely to get caught in the vacuum.  Love it!
