LOVE this rug! It was just what I was looking for and really tied everything together in my apartment! After unrolling it, the rug laid flat immediately and didn't curl at the ends like some rugs do. It's also very soft and barely any pile. This isn't something I was looking for in a rug, but is definitely an added bonus! The center of the rug is a deep navy; my mom and I went back and forth as to whether it's black or navy, but ALLMODERN confirmed and so can I, it's definitely navy. If you're thinking of getting this rug, do! You won't regret it!
