The 2 Rugs were as described and color was as expected, but with an added bonus in that when you look at the rug from one direction, it is a light gray. But when you look at the rug from the opposite direction, it is a dark gray. This allows us to lay them out based on color tone desired. (Toned down looking down the hall from the foyer or sharper, darker pattern when looking up the hall toward the foyer. Like it!)
