So let me start by saying I do not normally write reviews but I felt like this runner really needed it. This is my first purchase from this site and I was nervous because it would have been a major hassle to return it  

This runner is very vibrant! I absolutely love it! The colors pop beautifully. I was very impressed with how soft it actually was.

My ONLY concern is I hope that it fits where I need it to ( I am wanting to use this as a kitchen runner)

The pictures included are how it looked as soon as I unroll it (and it will be in a new home with hardwood floors) so i recommend a rug pad.
