I love the pattern and thinness of these runners. However they do not grin on a hardwood floor. This style is actually a washable rub that needs a mat underneath. We are using the runner padding but the rugs shift constantly and do pose a trip and fall hazard. So although I love the pattern and texture, they could be greatly improved. If you buy them, get the appropriate pad. As you can see in the photos, the rugs shift off the matting and the underside is not rubber backed or non slip as advertised. We bought them for a hall with narrow spacing under closet doors so we did not have to trim all of our doors. I wish I’d chosen differently.
