These rugs were meant for our vacation home and are a great navy blue. However, one of the two completely fell apart after being washed. I expect to get a lot of lint when you wash a cotton rug of this nature however I did not expect that it would completely fall apart.  Others may have better luck but one out of the two is ruined and thrown away. 
Buyer beware!  On something like this, I will examine at the store before I purchase and not buy online unless it was a brand you recognize and trust. Made a mistake on this one !
