Four-stars only because these are not runners that are particularly comfortable to walk barefoot upon. This runner is well made and very good quality for indoor/outdoor use. I chose this runner for the colors and bought three(3) for my bedroom.  My warning is the nap does not have a carpet 'feel'; I think it may be made of sisal fiber. It suits my purpose fine, but you may want a more carpet-like runner for a living/dining/bedroom area. The colors are very attractive and well-blended.
