I got the runner and larger area rug to use in my kitchen. Odd choice you may think, but the white floors are getting scuffed  nobody got time for that.  Eventually I will get them redone but this is an attractive alternative until then. If a Berber carpet and a shag carpet had a baby, the pile would be like this carpet.  It is very soft and has held up to daily vacuuming for the past week. Didn’t even shed much.
