I do like my new rug. It has brightened up our living area.  I never really realized how much our older carpet's darker colors created such a dark space.  The blue color is closer to denim than navy which I love. The 'wear' marks in the pattern tend to give the rug a look as if there are ripples in it and it needs to be flattened out.  Thankfully, the direction we have the carpet, it isn't very noticeable.  This effect my be bothersome for some folks.
