I purchased an 8' runner and am quite pleased with it.  I use it in my bathroom and it has a very good feel underfoot, thick and soft.  It took a couple of days to lie flat, but has now done so.  I especially appreciated that it did not have any very powerful odor, as so many rugs do that have been wrapped up tight for shipping.  The color was very true to the picture.  If I had a criticism, it is that the light-colored border has some variability in color that makes some sections of it look a bit dingy or drab when viewed at an angle but it's not terribly noticeable.
