This carpet is great!  I was very skeptical about ordering a grey rug online without seeing it in person first.  Some greys look tan, some blue and some brown.  I was looking for a true grey carpet and this rug looks great in my dining room. When I unrolled the carpet, it did take some time to get the rolls flat.  The end of the carpet was rolled so tight that I had to put some heavy objects on it to help it flatten.  This carpet is a great value!  I would definitely recommend it.
