We purchased this runner planning to put it along the main hallway by the stairs however, it was not long enough so we decided to place it along the hallway by our laundry room instead.  We hadn't planned on putting a rug in this location, but it wasn't too expensive so we decided to keep it.  The rug isn't very thick and the polyacrylic material is soft.  Also, the picture online appears more of a light grey tone and linen color combination, but the rug is actually more yellow-beige color.  The color works ok on our wood floor however, would have preferred a lighter greylinen color tone instead.
