I was thrilled with these runners!one 2x6,other 2x8.very thick and rich looking.i read the reviews and the grey with the brownish threads just blends in with everything  ,over all I was shooing for the gray look and the textured look perfect.right now I have a runner under the long one,and acts as a pad,the other a small(non skid )rug.got the long one day I had company. All loved them .in top rt of one pic,I got a beautiful.floral chair from wayfair that i wanna give a revue on too.
