I bought this pattern in a runner that is in my kitchen. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! The runner adds the perfect pop of color to my wood kitchen with white countertops. When it came it took a few hours for the edges to settle. I flipped it upside down and put a chair on both sides. The corners have not come up and I've had it for several months now. Also my boyfriend spilt a whole glass of wine on it and it came right out with club soda. Great purchase!
