Very Pleased with the rug I received. Received it Friday when originally it was to be delivered Monday...so that was a great surprise. Rug is a fantastic quality and looks awesome. I read the other reviews before purchasing and yes the blue is a little lighter then a true navy blue, but I think a true navy would be too dark and it would pull almost black due to the detailing in the rug. I highly recommend! One reviewer mentioned the shedding, any wool rug will shed and continue to shed especially with such a dense pile, so be prepared for that...but again if you have had a wool rug in the past you know what to expect.
