I have been searching for rugs for our newly refinished hardwood floors. After reading many reviews, I chose this is the 6' runner for our hallway to see if I would like it. While it is thin, I love the look and the texture. I have a pad I ordered to put under it and it will take care of the thickness. The colors are true to the picture and it is a vintage looking rug. I am ready to buy this in the 8x12 for our living room! Love it and would recommend it. No shedding and vacuums nicely.
