What can I say, Its a beautiful piece! The dark grey is a little lighter than I expected, but it works well in my room. I got the 7X7' Square. It is very well made, you can see the quality when you touch it. Compared to what I saw at Pottery Barn, I can tell the quality of this rug will last a long time. The rug came perfectly packaged and was dropped right at my door step. It was a bit heavy but not unmanigable. I wish I would have gotten the larger size but It would have not worked in the space. Overall great piece.
