I ordered this rug to go with curtains and a quilt I had already ordered thinking it was NAVY - it is not.  It it a lighter shade of blue - more of a medium blue, so it did not really fit in with what I had planned, but overall it still looked nice out of the package.  Now that I have used it for about a week it is shedding a lot. I hope that will stop after first few vacuums. Time will tell.
