I bought 2 runners and absolutely love them.  They came in lengths that are longer than most other runners and cover my entry hall and the space behind my sofa.  They are very dense which makes them easy to vacuum and comfy to walk on.  I was concerned that they would get dirty, but my grandson encouraged me to get them.  He said they looked like my style.  Surprise-they do not show dirt at all.  They do require a mat underneath to keep them in place.
