My wife and I could not be more pleased with this rug.  We ordered three different sizes of it with pads and love them!  (I only wish they also carried a 2'x3' too.)  Easy to clean and the quality was pleasantly surprising.  Shipping was immediate as well.  The color isn't an incredibly deep navy, but is darker than royal.  The variance in color gives interest to the eye, but does not have the distressed look.  We'd buy these rugs all over again.
