We received this rug within three days of purchasing it and it is wonderful! The quality is better than I expected and it feels great underfoot. The color is definitely a deep gray with a little hint of blue, but I would say it's a wonderful neutral no matter what your decor. We put it in our entry way and I absolutely love it. So far, it has held up well to my dogs' muddy paws and people coming in the front door. Would definitely purchase it again!
