Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about details. m(_ _)m The color is dark gray. It has been used less frequently than the black version. There is some wear and tear, and some pilling characteristic of polyester. I couldn't remove all the dog hair. Item will be delivered as is. It will be compressed for shipping. As it is also listed on other sites, in the unlikely event that it sells out, I will have to cancel the order. For those who understand that this is a used item, thank you for your understanding.
