I rarely give "excellent" or highest score possible, but here is the issue, while this is not a high plush rug, it is amazing for the price!  I could not believe how good the quality was for the inexpensive price.  I wanted soemthing for in the hallway until I decide whether I want to put carpet or new hardwood in the hallway.  I am now thinking replace the hardwood and keep this runner there.  It looks gorgeous, and is perfect.  

Pros: Looks expensive; beautiful colors
