The rug looks great in our entryway. We've been looking for awhile for an extra long runner and the quality is definitely high with a reasonable price. It will need a pad because it's slippery on our tile. I gave 4 stars (instead of 5) because the ivory tone is not consistent. Some places it looks ivory, others it looks dingy or dirty. The area doesn't have a ton of light so I can deal with it but would've preferred a cleaner look.
