We LOVE our new runner. We live in a house with a long entryway off the foyer and have had such a difficult time finding a runner at local rug and carpet stores that is long enough- and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. We bought the 12' runner and couldn't be happier. The design and color is exactly as pictures on the site and the rug is nice and thick. No need for a non-slip pad either! We are happily surprised by this Wayfair purchase and have recommended the other friends looking for an upgrade.
