The quality of this manufacturer's area rugs is superb, such that we have purchased several different colors and styles for different rooms of our home. The online photo of this Blue/Ivory rug is more vibrant (rug looks darker in-person). The background navy blue color actually looks black or ebony. It is a pretty rug design that works well in a runner style (2'2" x 7'7") so that the center round part appears twice in the length of the rug. It is easy to spot clean, as needed (a puppy accident) and stands up to frequent strong vacuum cleaning. The ivory color surprisingly does not show evidence of foot traffic. My only disappointment is the black/ebony background since I was expecting navy.
