I haven’t laid the rug down yet, but I did open a corner of it and the color is a perfect light gray and it has a good texture and plushness.  I really think it’s a bargain and is going to work out perfectly.  The delivery was a pleasure - the 2 guys called ahead, were on time and were extremely helpful and courteous.  So far, my first Wayfair purchase has been a dream!!!! THANKS
