I love this modern rug! I bought 2 runners for our garage entry/coat rack area and they are a great contrast to the natural wood floors. The ends are very nicely turned under and tacked, so the contrast black stitching/binding is only on the long sides. It's a very thin rug, but soft for the feet, not itchy at all. Definitely needs a rug pad or it slides.  I like that it is wider than most runners, but I wish it were a bit longer, at least 8' would be even nicer.
