The design of this set is nice and I was happy with that. The runner is not standard size for a runner and I couldn't use the piece. These rugs also do not have a non slip backing and are awful for hardwood floors. Maybe these would be nice on carpeted areas. The weight of the area rug I hoped wood help but it does not. Non slip mats do not help with the problem either. overall I wish I would have kept looking for.a different set.
