After purchasing the lighter blue/turquoise-grey ombre version of this area rug, when it was time to do a little color update to the room, I went with the navy one, and it is just as nice as the first one. Great price (I got the 5x7 one), good size for the area to be covered. It could be a little thicker perhaps as it is on a thin side, and seems to pack down next to nothing underfoot but, for the price, I will just get a new one as needed. I'm not a fan of underlays as I seem to be allergic to latex.
