beautiful runner. I have not yet placed it down because i need to get a pad to go under it because it will definitely move on you if not (we have hardwood throughout our home). I did not put one under my larger rugs (from this brand as well) because the weight of the furniture holds it in place although I may do so in the future. These are light colored rugs and show dirt easily even if you are like us and do not wear shoes in the house.
