The only reason I'm not giving 5-stars is because the rug is SO new (just down 2 days) it still has some creases & folds that I'm assuming will go away over a SHORT period of time.  But as far as the quality/look/feel of the rug it's GREAT!  And as others have said, what looks to be blue fringe along the edges is NOT, it's more gray.  The blue in the center of the rug is VERY subtle.  The carpet is very soft and feels very plush without being to thick.  At this early stage of ownership the quality seems to be great, time will tell obviously.
