I bought this runner for my upstairs hallway.  It's hard to find one this long especially for the price.  The color is truly a dark gray and it is soft to walk on.  My dog also feels very comfortable on it.  I would highly recommend this product.

Pros: It arrived w/in two days of ordering it.  It was nicely packaged and easy to open.  It laid flat w/in hours.
Cons: I wish it was a little wider but for the price, it can't be beat.
