When I first saw this rug listed on Wayfair, I thought "WOW"!! The colors appeared perfect for me.  However, when the rug arrived, it looked more brown than charcoal.  I intended to return, (unopened), but decided to lay it out and see how it looked.  I was pleasantly surprised with the softness of the rug and the colors still worked even though not exactly what I wanted.  It's a keeper!!
