I had purchased a navy rug to place in front of the kitchen sink but it instantly showed lint and dust.  I swapped it out for this one and the color/texture have been much more disguising of any dust or lint.  This rug has a nice soft texture,  lays well and is holding up great in a high traffic area.  Color is true to picture with just a hint of teal and there is a ribbing in the texture that adds to the softness.   I am really pleased.
