This rug is not black or gray, it's BROWN. If you're ok with that then this may be what you are looking for. I was hoping for black but could see in the pics it appeared brown, so I am not surprised by this but am on the fence as to whether I will be keeping it. It's good quality, not soft to the touch (wool), and lumpy to walk on (because it's hand-knotted). I may look for something else but that has more to do with personal taste and not because there's anything wrong with the rug other than the color was not as described.
