I needed a very long hallway runner without paying a fortune and gave this a try.  High traffic area from garage entry, we have sandy soil, and cat litter box is in adjacent laundry room and they live to claw the rugs. Future ruin is assured! So far, very happy with it. Attractive with an almost natural fiber look.  Lightweight so easy to move for vacuuming.  No smell! Only downsize is that due to 14 ft. length tends to get out of alignment from end to end, but a rug pad would control that. Would recommend.
