I love this rug.  I purchased the 12 ft runner for my kitchen under my sink ad stove.  It is the second one I have purchased. The colors are vibrant and perfect for my kitchen which has elements of hot pink and teal.  The first, purchased several years ago had a long and very serviceable  life.  Through no fault of its own it's become stained over the years.  It's been washed with a home rug scrubber a zillion times and it's never caused a problem.   It's our ability to drop most every food item onto the floor that lead to its demise.  We also have a dog. This is the only runner that comes in a 12 foot length.
