I bought this for our vacation home so it is no where near the wool that Iam used to ordering for our home, but having said that  for what I paid 80.00 it works well. It is not really blue. I have it sitting on a grey weathered looking ,beachy looking wood floor and it sure is grey.

Pros: great look for the price
Cons: not as thick as we are used to but great for under the dining table.Not sure why this is called blue. I wantedd grey and that is what I got.
