To all the reviewers saying this rug is black and ivory it is absolutely not. It’s a beautiful rug but it is definitely brown and ivory. I ordered the runner to see what it would look like in a larger size for my dining room and was sad that it was not a true black. It still will work in my space but if you are looking for black lines they are not black. 

The pile is perfect for the dining are as it’s not too thick. I recommend this rug but wanted to be honest about the color of it so other buyers would be disappointed.
