I was looking for a runner rug to replace the old, worn out rug in my laundry room. This is the perfect thing. It really brightens up the room, colorful without being gaudy. I was surprised at how plush it feels, since it's polyester. I had to weight down the ends to flatten them down after being rolled, but in a few days it was great. I recommend putting a non-slip pad under it because it does slide a bit without one.
