absolutely loved the rug, used in a room decorated with blacks and greys so looks perfect... needs a rug pad to enhance the thickness, which I ordered.   Black really "pops" on hardwood floors.. love it!!!!  Only complaint is the rug does not come wrapped on a cardboard roll, so the last couple of feet is 'tightly rolled" and leaves ripple marks... a couple of weeks laying flat and using a vacuum and it is slowly going away...
