I am so pleased with my Hertzler Orange runner , I purchased the 12 foot and after one day of just placing some heavy books on each corner it is now laying flat . I put some non slip backing at each end and in the middle and it's staying nicely in place . It is warm and comfortable under foot . I'd recommend this product ! I'm getting lots of nice compliments on the rug and the nice pop of colour it's adding to my farmhouse kitchen
